In recent years, the number of full time, tenured faculty in the state university system has increased by 10 and the number of students has remained roughly the same. However, prospective and current students have noted that average class size has increased.

Which of the following, if true, would resolve the apparent contradiction noted above?


A. A few of the classes at the university have class sizes of 100 students or more, well in excess of the median class size.

B. The number of adjunct professors, who teach the majority of classes at the university, has been cut by 25.

C. Some full-time tenured professors are researchers and do not lecture on a regular basis.

D. Some classes are led by graduate students who are not full time rather than by full time, tenured professors.

E. Lab and discussion classes, which are often led by teaching assistants, are not included in the calculation of class size.
