Retirements  Appointments  Gains and Losses by Area

 

This figure shows the pattern of retirements in the recent past and near future. The vertical bar indicates the present date

The Department currently has 38 professors (approx. 33 FTE) and 6 instructors (4.75 FTE). As shown in the table of projected retirements below (Appendix 1), we will lose 10 and 1/3 professorial positions between Dec 96 and the end of 2003 and one Instructor (thick arrow, Fig. 3). As shown below, we are holding our strength generally. There is then a 2 ˝ year gap between the end of 2003 before the next set of 12 retirements starts in mid 2006. These retirements result in nearly complete loss of our present strength in organismal biology, and threaten significant reduction in strength in physiology and ecology.
