Update on Faculty Lines from the Faculty Retirement Incentive
Back to Issue 18 Table of Contents
In Spring 2014, 20 faculty members retired from the University after taking advantage of a University sponsored early retirement plan,.
Of those 20 faculty lines, the Deans contributed 5 lines as unit contributions to the Strategic Investment Fund as part of Focusing On Our Future (FOOF). Of the 15 remaining lines, 11 have been or are currently approved for search, and the 4 remaining lines are awaiting reallocation by the Academic Division. Please see the chart below for more detailed information.

Faculty lines that were contributed as part of the FOOF process are no longer available for redistribution/reallocation.
