3. Overview/Budget
Number of tenure track hires is determined by new hires, retirements, and FERP. Current practice is to keep
replacements for retirements and FERP within the colleges
where they occur. Two FERP, starting or ending = 1 hire
Number of new tenure track hires is dependent, at least in part,
by the budget
State budgeting timelines do not match CSU operational
timelines very well. We propose new hires in January
and the State budget is approved in June
There are never enough new tenure track lines – The colleges worked diligently with the Provost to come to consensus

5. Hiring Multiple criteria used to determine new TT hires

Multiple criteria used to determine new TT hires

One size does not fit all. For instance SFR is very
different for individual music classes versus
large introductory GE classes.
AA determined 35 hires would be necessary to meet goals
of the university to reach 60% TT density in five years
20 hires currently approved
