faculty tool screen is displayed as shown in figure 2.4.1-`2. The faculty
member consists of a username, first name, username, email address, office phone,
home phone, address, department, and WTUs. This information is only editable by the
administrator. The drop down currently displaying Faculty Data works exactly as
specified in section 2.3.1,2.3.2, and 2.3.3.
