Topic 1: Opportunities and challenges -- recruitment, retention and retirement

From WolfWikis

• Based on your experiences at the departmental level, what workforce-related issues (faculty and staff) need to be addressed now and in future planning (e.g. strategic functions, retirement, salary compression, attracting and retaining high talent, etc.)? Why are these of concern?

• What is a desirable proportion of tenure/tenure track faculty age cohorts? How many in their 30s, 40s, 50, etc.? Provide rationale for your proposed distribution.

• What ratio of tenure-track and non-tenure-track faculty should NC State aim for in its long-range planning, and why? Should that ratio be different in your own department than across the entire institution?

• What strategies (resources, policies, programs, …) can be employed to help address the challenges you have identified?
