scrambling to rt*< ruit and retain
adequate replacements
The sudden stream of retirees
is attributed to the large num
ber of professors re< rioted dur
ing the IttfiOs and 1‘HVOs be
i ause of im reased enrollments,
said perry hissler senior vice
provost
Increased faculty were hired
.is the "echo boom." the r h 11 -
dren of the post-war bain Imioiii
generation, reached college
age. said Susan Weeks, director
of institutional rescan h ser
vices.
Although the I'niversitv has
a wide age-range of fai uItv the
"trends are going to affect us
anyway." hissler said "Other
universities will tr\ to steal lai
ultv from us."
This is a nationwide issue,
said l.ou Osternig. member of
the University task feme on
f ai ultv Kei ruitment and Reten
tion.
Osternig said that the Univer
sity faces possible additional
faculty losses to other universi
ties offering higher salaries and
heller benefits to compensate
(or their retiring professors
"Wo are interested in the re
i ruitment of high-quality f.u ul

isting faculty." said Megan

t diversity professor
Hub Roseth, direc lor of News

they have been dealing with
the problem in advan( e
Washington is now in the top
t.r> percent of universities with
the highest salaries In the earh
1‘iHOs. Washington ranked in
the top 45 percent.
"We've been keeping slalis
tu s for almost a decade now on
how we're doing in comparison
with other universities."
Roseth said "In the; early BUs
we began to fall farther and far
ther behind in regard to faculty
salaries and so we also fell in
faculty retention. Now we’re
doing relatively better and
we've narrowed the faculty sal
ary gap We're losing fewer
people."
While other universities are
successfully keeping faculty,
the University is "vulnerable
partly Ixsause we're close to
the liottom in terms of lac ulty
salaries," Osternig said. "Our
laculty are rec ruited away by
sc hoots sue h as Berkeley and
University of Washington - the
ones we compete w ith
The* University was ranked

Another issue is an iinbal

ar\ c ompression." said (ieorge
Kvanoff. direr tor of appointed
personnel at the University of
Arizona
"Due to pressure of private
sectors there are higher de
mands in salary, especially in
te< finical areas New people are
coming in and making very
close or more than people who
were already here.” Evanoff
said.
lust three years ago, finance
professors at the University of
Arizona earned about $40.000,
Kvanoff said. Now finance pro

$00,000 and up
Kc'.mutinies professors at the
University receive an average
of $45,000. said the office man
ager of the I fniversity econom

The task force for the Recruit
ment and Retention of Faculty
is addressing many of these is
sues including faculty salaries,
the dual career issue and af
firmative action.
"The purpose is to find ways
so that in the long haul we can
keep fat ulty at the highest
quality." said Lorraine Davis,
vice provost in charge of aca
deme personnel "We want to
create an atmosphere that al
lows faculty to feel welcome "
Developing a more culturally
diverse staff is an important is

c reate a whole plan to get a
strong mix of minority facul

"Women and minorities have
a great position for bargain
