Faculty departures in context	Permalink Closed

If the number of "only 75 faculty" departures is quoted as an example that this past year hasn't been as bad as others, then there's a need for "historical" data with which to compare. (The following tables didn't print correctly when I tried to post this before, but I'll try again): In Spring 2001, the Jackson Clarion-Ledger ran a story about the state's budget woes affecting higher education. As part of that story, they had a data table for 1999-2001. (This table has been updated with data for 2002 and 2003 from later stories in the same paper): 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 USM 22 32 86 88 93 MSU 34 43 96 134 61 Ole Miss 17 36 66 90 43 Alcorn 7 17 16 31 17 Delta 16 11 18 27 36 JSU 4 6 18 24 26 MUW 11 7 21 22 22 Valley 2 9 10 14 12 --- --- --- --- --- 113 161 331 430 310 On April 23, 2003, the Clarion-Ledger ran a story on numbers of retirements from the state university system, with the following data table: 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 USM 27 40 43 45 52 64 MSU 87 98 66 86 104 221* Ole Miss 56 69 34 40 64 50 Alcorn 11 15 12 12 13 21 Delta 5 13 11 7 7 20 JSU 21 22 24 9 18 22 MUW 9 5 7 9 5 5 Valley 5 1 5 3 5 10 --- --- --- --- --- --- 221 263 202 211 268 413 *MSU offered an Early Retirement incentive plan in 2002 An August 2003 Hattiesburg American story on "USM Faculty turnover" listed the following data: 2001-2002: Turnover 104; 22 retired; 42 resigned to take other job 2002-2003 Turnover 97; 39 retired; 27 resigned to take other job; 17 one-year appointments not renewed - - - - - So, which set of numbers do you like? __________________
