Curricular Efficiency Workshop
Gray DI’s Curricular Efficiency Workshop uses data on course-level revenue, cost, margin, and
instructional workloads collected in the Contribution Margin Analysis tool to identify high cost, low
margin, or redundant courses. In a facilitated workshop, faculty and administrators review the course
data and use their judgement to identify opportunities to reduce or re-deploy instructional staff. The
data may also be used on an ongoing basis to inform budgets and course schedules.
