Strategy 18: Faculty Recruitment and Retention

Ryerson will compete vigorously to attract and retain highly qualified faculty.

Other Information:

FACULTY AND STA FF Faculty -- Highly qualified faculty are essential to the University. A faculty member’s knowledge base, research and teaching skills, professional judgment and experience, research agenda, intellectual curiosity, passion for teaching, collegial network, industry contacts, vision of the future, ethical practices, publications, creative works, service to the university and the discipline and profession—these are all vital elements that make up the faculty of the University. Shaping Our Future envisions the continued expansion of the Ryerson faculty, a successful conclusion to the local norms process, and new initiatives designed to strengthen the university’s recruiting and retention of highly qualified professors. Instituting local norms will be critical to both recruiting and retaining colleagues. In addition, the Plan envisions working in tandem with University Advancement in the next development campaign to expand significantly the number of endowed chairs, in research and in teaching, across the campus. As expressed elsewhere, this Plan also anticipates initiatives to strengthen services to faculty with respect to research services and staff support.
