First of all, faculty are expected to contribute one half of their office hours to working in the lab, helping students. When I am not on duty (16 to 18 hours per week), and I peek in, I often see faculty working with groups of students at machines. Students sign up for 2 hours per week. We are currently running an estimated 720 hours of student tech-supported activity per week in a lab where there are between 18 and 20 functioning machines at any given time. The staff (and sometimes faculty) work hard to bring up machines which often have only minor problems.
