5.10 LIMITATIONS AND PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS STUDY
The development of a master WFD faculty participant list for each community college presented an initial limitation to the study. It was at this point that the vice presidents who served as the interviewees asked their subordinates to gather potential faculty to include into this study. All of the community colleges involved in this study presented the same issue. They did not keep a master list of WFD faculty serving the division. WFD administrators do not regularly contact their WFD faculty. This presented initial challenges to the study in many forms. Because there were no master lists, it was revealed that the deans, directors, and other faculty maintained their own faculty lists for use when they needed a faculty member for a class. Although the lists were ultimately created and shared for this study, a process was developed as an additional step for creating a questionnaire list used for this study. The researcher worked with all of the colleges to create a master list to be housed in the vice president’s office. From that point forward, the official WFD faculty list was maintained by an individual in the vice presidents office for distribution to WFD faculty to complete the questionnaire for this study.
