Staffing plan to balance student-faculty ratio
(Continued from Page 1)
After the estimated maximum
high index level of 74 percent in
1978, the level is expected to drop
by 1983 to 70 percent. This decline
is to be a function of hiring
policies of the University’s
various departments and schools.
This will be accomplished,
according to the present draft of
the plan, which is subject to
revision before it is submitted to
the Chancellor and the state
board , by yearly review of
departmental needs and goals in
relation to the total University
situation. The dean of each school
will submit to the Office of
Academic Affairs at the end of
each year a plan that in
corporates anticipated faculty

needs and expected vacancies.
To quote from the present
(October, 1973) draft: “The
Office of Academic Affairs will
determine the staffing need of
each school or college consistent
with the University staffing plan
and will provide each dean, with
the maximum lead-time possible,
with an indication of the number
of regular and temporary
positions he might expect in the
light of projected levels of
enrollment and legislative
funding.”
The changes in hiring will
attempt a better distribution of
faculty in terms of age and ex
perience. According to Harry
Alpert, vice-president for
academic affairs and provost of
the University, the number of
faculty hired with a guarantee of
tenure consideration will be
noticeably fewer. added that
the number of graduate teaching
assistants should not grow under
the staffing plan.
President Clark, in answer to
the question of how the quality of
teaching will be affected by the
hiring of more untenured faculty,
gave two reasons for his belief
that there will be no decline. He
pointed out that faculty who are
appointed under the un
derstanding that the assignment
is short-term and not tenure
track will be eligible for tenure
when such openings in their
departments occur. Also, con
sidering the heavy competition
for teaching positions at the
university level, he feels there
should be enough incentive to
maintain a high level of teaching
performance.
Another consequence of this
competition that he approves of is
the closer faculty review exer
cised by departments before
granting tenure. This is one more
insurance of high academic
standards, he insisted.
On the basis of information
supplied with the Faculty Staf
fing Plan, it can be seen which
schools are most “tenured-in” —
and consequently which will be
most subject to hiring restric
tions. As of May, 1973, these
schools had a numerical index of
tenured faculty to total university
FTE which exceeded the
University average: Education,
93 percent; Music, 76 percent;
Journalism, 87 percent; Business
Administration, 70 percent;
Librarianship. 86 percent; and
Law, 71 percent.
