10 What changes in the program faculty/staff are expected in the next five years? (e.g. retirement, addition of new positions, etc.) Please explain.

Continued declining enrollments both across the entire NIC campus and particular in the History Program, combined with the continued shift to History courses being taught by high school faculty teaching NIC History courses on their campuses, would result in difficulty in sustaining two full time History faculty.  This will be mitigated during the next five years as one of the full time History faculty will move from the SBS Division co-chair to serving as the sole SBS Division chair.
