A Study To Identify Academic Personnel Replacement Needs in SUNY Community Colleges and Technical Colleges.
Winter, Gene M.; And Others
In 1990, a study was conducted of full-time faculty, deans, chairpersons, and academic administrators at the State University of New York (SUNY) community and technical colleges. The purpose of the study was to profile these groups and to identify future academic personnel replacement needs. A survey questionnaire mailed to SUNY's 30 community colleges and 6 technical and agricultural colleges, resulted in usable responses from 3,252 faculty members, 486 deans/chairpersons, and 78 administrators from the 36 colleges. The statewide full-time faculty response rate was 62%. A separate survey was sent to the institutional researcher at each college, requesting information on recent retirements to establish employment trends. Study results included the following: (1) faculty were 61% male and 92% white; (2) the master's degree was the highest degree held by 68% of the faculty; (3) 75% of the faculty reported being either extremely satisfied or quite satisfied with their position; (4) assuming the fulfillment of respondents' reported retirement plans, no growth, and a constant staffing ratio, faculty replacement needs by program were expected to range from 7% to 24% within 3 years, and from 16% to 57% by the year 2000; (5) SUNY administrators were 76% male and 86% white; (6) 25% of the administrators held master's degrees, 30% held doctorates of philosophy, and 32% doctorates of education; and (7) the replacement rate for administrators was expected to be 38% in the next 3 years. Recommendations for dealing with the need to replace more than half of SUNY's faculty and more than 75% of their administrators within the next 10 years are included. The survey instruments are appended. (JMC)
