Report on the 2016 Faculty Recruitment and Retention Survey 3
Introduction
The California State University
This report is the 29th annual report on the recruitment of tenure-track faculty at the 23 campuses of the California State University (CSU). The report focuses on searches conducted during the 2015-16 academic year for appointments beginning in fall 2016, but also considers some data from prior years. It is based on survey information that the Office of the Chancellor has collected from the campuses since 1988 to provide the CSU with information about the successes and difficulties encountered in recruiting tenure-track faculty. The report addresses the rate of success experienced by campuses in recruiting new faculty and the number of applications received for open positions. It presents demographic, salary, and prior employment data of new tenure-track faculty. The report also presents information on the recruitment process and reasons given for unsuccessful searches. In addition, data on faculty resignations and tenure denials by campus and discipline are also reported. Executive Summary The 2015-16 recruiting year continued the momentum from the prior year both in searches and new appointments. CSU campuses initiated 999 searches that resulted in 854 appointments for fall 2016, compared to 849 appointments in fall 2015. Searches culminated in appointments 85% of the time; all disciplines reported successful completion of searches more than 74% of the time. In searches that were concluded successfully, the campus’s first choice accepted the appointment about 85% of the time. Starting salaries for new faculty increased from prior years, with new assistant professors receiving an average of $76,504; the average for all new appointments was $78,908. While 18% of new appointees came from within California, new faculty were drawn from 45 states and the District of Columbia, plus 60 different institutions from outside the United States. Nearly 17% of new appointees came from other positions within the CSU, including 12.5% who were hired into tenure-track positions after serving as lecturers on the same campus. A slight majority of new appointees were female (54%), while 42% were members of minority groups. For 2015-16, total denials of tenure and non-reappointments were 0.4% of the probationary faculty population, which was less than recent years. In 2015-16, the rate of resignation of tenured and probationary faculty overall was 1.7%. There was a slight increase in resignations of tenured faculty (0.8%) and a slight decrease among probationary faculty (4.1%).

Searches and Appointments
The California State University
The CSU has tracked recruitments of tenure-track faculty since the 1987-88 academic year. Over that period of time, campuses have initiated 22,868 searches that led to 16,755 new tenure-track appointments. The long-term trend data in Figure 1 (and the accompanying numbers in Table 1) indicate a close correlation between the relative health of the CSU budget and the number of new appointments being made across the system. Fall 1993 was the lowest point for new tenure-track appointments until fall 2010, when only 108 new tenure-track faculty members were appointed system-wide. In fall 2016, there were a total of 854 new appointments, which was nearly identical to the number of appointments in the prior year (849 appointments in fall 2015). Tenure-track hiring over the past six years is only now above replacement to compensate for faculty who leave the CSU due to retirement, resignation, and other separations. The total number of tenure-track faculty across the system in 2016 was 10,653, which is similar to the pre-Great Recession totals, and 7% higher than the low observed fall 2013 (9,961). Historical information on the number of tenure-track faculty is available at http://www.calstate.edu/hr/faculty-resources/research-analysis/faculty-summary-data-and-reports.shtml.

Table 1 provides the number of searches initiated each year, along with the number of appointments made and “success rate” calculated from the ratio of appointments to searches. Historically, the reduced rates of hiring seen in poor budget years have been associated with lower rates of search success. The success rates over the past four years (84% and higher) are at
Report on the 2016 Faculty Recruitment and Retention Survey 5
historic highs; a weak national academic job market for the past several years may have contributed to the CSU’s unusual success.
Table 1. Tenure-Track Faculty Recruitments and Success Rates, 1988-2016
Since campuses are surveyed as to the reasons for failed searches, it is possible to analyze the impact of campus budgets on search success. Table 2 looks at search success since 2007, excluding cases where searches were cancelled for budgetary reasons. Under these assumptions,

Table 3 presents the 5-year history of new appointments on each of the 23 campuses. From 2012 through 2016, a total of 3,297 new appointments were made. The number of new appointments varies considerably from campus to campus and from year to year, reflecting campus size, budget constraints, and local needs. In fall 2016, Long Beach, San José, and Fresno appointed the most new tenure-track hires with 65, 64, and 63, respectively. Fullerton (254), Long Beach (235), and San Luis Obispo (231) have appointed the most hires over the past five years.

Table 3. Tenure-Track Faculty Appointments by Campus, 2012-2016
Table 4 examines the success of each campus in attracting applicants and completing tenure-track searches for fall 2016. A given campus’s success in completing searches depends on a large number of factors including the mix of disciplines and the level of competition for faculty within those disciplines, the quality of the search pool, the reputation and image of the campus and department, and the level of salary and start-up support offered. In addition, external factors such as the cost of living and housing and the availability of spousal employment may also influence search outcomes.

reported 100% success in filling advertised positions. On average, the CSU received 56 applications per tenure line.
Table 4. Tenure-Track Faculty Searches, Appointments, and Applications, by Campus, 2016
Table 5 displays the number of applications received per search and the overall success rate broken out by academic discipline. The success rates were high across all disciplines, ranging from 74% in health sciences to 100% in architecture. More reflective of the challenges facing the campuses, though, are the dramatic differences in pool sizes, with the typical search in the health sciences bringing in only 14 applicants, compared to 136 applications per search in mathematics and computer sciences. In a significant number of cases, campuses either advertised the availability of multiple positions within a single search or took advantage of strong pools to

make multiple hires. This phenomenon is not well-captured in our questionnaire, and in most cases each appointment has been reported as if it arose from an independent search. As a result, the number of total applications received may be overstated.
Table 5. Tenure-Track Faculty Searches, Appointments, and Applications, by Discipline, 2016
For a more detailed breakdown of recruitments, appointments, and numbers of applications in different academic fields within disciplines, see Appendix A. Three areas within the health sciences – nursing (5 applications per search), physical therapy (11 applications per search), and other health sciences (13 applications per search) – as well as dairy science (13 applications per search), reported the smallest applicant pools. The recruitment of nursing faculty has become a perennial challenge, with the number of applications received per search consistently averaging in the single digits. At the other end of the spectrum, fields such as mathematics (219 applications per search) and economics (163 applications per search) continued to produce extremely large recruitment pools. Other fields producing very large pools were radio/film/television (161 applications per search), English (109 applications per search), physics and astronomy (99 applications per search), and finance (93 applications per search).

Faculty Diversity
The California State University
A campus-by-campus breakdown of the gender and ethnicity of new tenure-track hires is presented in Table 6. More than half of all new hires were female (54%); this percentage includes individuals whose race/ethnicity is reported as “Other/Unknown” in Table 6, but whose gender was reported. Forty-two percent were members of minority groups; the proportion of new faculty identified by the campuses as members of minority groups has been trending upwards for the last five years (from 32% in 2012). Seven campuses reported that more than half of new hires were members of minority groups (Bakersfield, 53%; Dominguez Hills, 63%; East Bay, 53%; Fullerton, 57%; Los Angeles, 71%; Northridge, 62%; San Francisco, 50%). Figures 2 and 3 provide a graphical representation of the ethnic breakdown of new appointees compared to all full-time tenured faculty, respectively, as of fall 2016. Among new hires, 49.4% self-identified as white, compared to 63.9% of all tenured faculty. The overall percentage of minority faculty among new hires was 42.1%, compared to 32.4% of tenured faculty. All categories of ethnic minority hires for 2016 were above the current overall averages for the entire system-wide tenured faculty as a whole. Every year, six federal agencies including the National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsor the Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED), a survey of individuals who received research doctorates from accredited institutions in the United States. The information reported provides a basis for comparing CSU faculty recruiting outcomes with national data on the gender and ethnicity of doctoral recipients. According to the most recent SED for doctorates earned in the 2014-15 academic year, 25.2% of the 35,117 doctorates earned by United States citizens and permanent residents went to members of minority groups. African Americans earned 6.5% of all new doctorates, while Asians earned 8.7% of degrees, Hispanics earned 7.0%, and American Indians earned 0.4% of degrees (those who identified as multi-race accounted for the remaining 2.6%). The proportions of new CSU faculty who were African American (6.6%), Asian (21.5%), Hispanic (10.7%), and American Indians (0.9%) were higher than that of new doctorates nationally. The SED is available at https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/srvydoctorates/.

Report on the 2016 Faculty Recruitment and Retention Survey 13
By academic rank, 92.5% of new tenure-track faculty members were hired at the assistant professor rank; 4.6% were hired as associate professors and 2.9% as full professors. Similar to previous years, individuals at the assistant professor rank were more likely to be female (55.4% compared to 46.2% of associate professors and 36.0% of full professors). Members of minority groups consisted of a larger proportion of associate professor hires (53.8%) than in the assistant professor (41.8%) and full professor (32.0%) ranks. Table 7 provides the distribution of new faculty appointments by rank, gender, and ethnicity.
Table 7. Gender and Ethnicity of Tenure-Track Faculty Appointments, 2016
Table 8 provides detailed information on race and ethnicity of new tenure-track faculty for the past five years. While the numbers have increased across all groups, reflecting the general increase in hiring during this timeframe, the proportion of African American and Hispanic new hires has noticeably increased as well. In 2012, African Americans accounted for 3.9% of new hires and Hispanics accounted for 6.8%, in 2016, those percentages were 6.6% and 10.7%, respectively.

Table 9 shows race and ethnicity of newly hired faculty in fall 2016 broken out by campus. In this table, American Indians, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and those reporting two or more races are reported in “total minorities” but are not separately reported. While minorities made up 42.0% of new hires system-wide, this value ranged across the campuses between 12.8% and 71.2%; the majority of campuses (12) reported percentages between 30% and 50%.

Report on the 2016 Faculty Recruitment and Retention Survey 14
Table 10 provides a breakdown of the gender and minority status of new faculty appointments by academic discipline. While the overall composition of new faculty continues to be roughly evenly split between men and women, significant differences exist across disciplines. Women comprised only 18.1% of new appointees in engineering, for example, while 73.9% of new hires in the health sciences were women. Note that these overall percentages include individuals whose ethnicity is reported as “other/unknown” in Table 10, but whose gender was reported. Other fields with significant gender disparities were in mathematics/computer sciences, natural sciences, and fine arts (with 18.1%, 26.3%, and 37.3%, respectively, of new appointments going to women), and education/library science, letters/humanities, and communications (with women comprising 64.8%, 62.1%, and 58.5%, respectively, of new appointments).

Table 10. Gender and Ethnicity of New Tenure-Track Faculty by Discipline, 2016
The gender distribution of new CSU faculty by discipline is roughly comparable to the gender distribution of individuals earning doctorates in the United States; according to the SED, although the percentage of women receiving doctorates in engineering and the physical sciences have been increasing, in the 2014-15 academic year only 23.2% of new engineering doctorates and 33.6% of new physical sciences doctorates were awarded to women. By contrast, health sciences doctorate recipients were 68.5% female, nearly the same percentage as female graduates in education (68.4%). Table 11 looks at the racial/ethnic composition of new hires by discipline. As was the case in Table 9, American Indians, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and those reporting two or more races are reported in “total minorities” but are not separately reported. In 2016, African Americans were most represented in public affairs (13.6%) and social sciences (9.0%); Asians were most represented in business (50.0%) and engineering (34.7%), and Hispanics were most represented in letters/humanities (25.9%), and in the social sciences (15.6%).

Table 11. Race and Ethnicity of New Tenure-Track Faculty by Discipline, 2016
For the past several years we have also tracked the citizenship status of new tenure-track faculty. According to the SED, in the 2014-15 academic year 63.8% of all doctorates were awarded to individuals who were U.S. citizens or permanent residents, while 29.4% were awarded to temporary visa holders (6.8% were unknown). For CSU appointments, 81.3% new faculty were U.S. citizens or permanent residents, while 18.7% were non-immigrant aliens. Table 12 provides a system-wide breakdown of the citizenship status of new tenure-track faculty, while Table 13 shows citizenship status by academic discipline.

Faculty Experience
The California State University
In this section, we report the number of years of experience following completion of the terminal degree of new CSU faculty members. Campuses were asked to report the year in which the terminal degree was completed. If the individual had completed all requirements for the doctorate except the dissertation, campuses reported the status as “ABD”. Table 14 presents the distribution of years of post-degree experience by campus. Overall, about two thirds of new faculty joined the CSU with less than 5 years of post-degree experience, and 87.2% had less than 10 years of experience. In 2016, 5.6% of appointments went to individuals who had not yet completed the doctorate by the start of the appointment. Most campuses reported no more than a few individuals appointed with ABD status. The notable exceptions were Fresno, where 25 of 63 appointees were reported as ABD, and in San Marcos where 6 of 19 were ABD. More experience translates, at least to some extent, into higher rank at the time of hire. All but one of the new hires appointed as a full professor (24 of 25) had at least 10 years of post-degree experience. Among associate professor appointments, 36 out of 39 had at least five years of post-degree experience. No ABD appointments were made above the assistant professor rank. In Table 15, years of experience is presented as a function of academic discipline. It is still true that new science faculty often spend one or more years in a post-doctoral appointment prior to assuming a tenure-track position; 84.4% of new assistant professors in the natural sciences had two or more years of post-doctoral experience, compared to 39.1% of new assistant professors in the social sciences and 36.2% of new assistant professors in the letters/humanities.

Report on the 2016 Faculty Recruitment and Retention Survey 22
Average salaries offered to new assistant professors varied substantially depending on the discipline. Business and management fields continued to lead all others, with the average salary of $102,677. New assistant professors in engineering ($84,104), architecture ($79,560), and health sciences ($77,006) were the other fields higher than the overall system average of $76,504. The lowest average salaries were in fine arts ($68,402), letters/humanities ($68,767), and social sciences ($68,973). Appendix B provides a detailed breakdown of salaries by sub-discipline. Table 18 displays the progression of starting salaries for assistant professors and for all new appointees from fall 2012 through fall 2016. Starting salaries for all new tenure-track faculty in 2016 was $78,908, a 4% increase from the prior year ($75,859) and a 9% increase from five years ago ($72,451 in 2011). For assistant professors, the average salary of $76,504 was 2% higher than in the prior year ($74,891) and 9% higher than five years earlier ($70,240).
Table 18. Average Salaries of New Faculty by Year, 2012-2016
In Table 19, we provide the average salaries of new faculty by rank. The starting salaries of new faculty in 2016 in the associate professor and full professor ranks exceeded that for all faculty in their respective ranks. New associate professors earned, on average, 27% more than the average for all associate professors ($87,092), while new full professors earned, on average, 17% more than all full professors ($103,118). New assistant professors earned, on average, 3% less than all assistant professors ($78,869). The figures for full professors include salaries for individuals hired as department chairs or for other leadership positions; such inclusion would tend to inflate the average salaries reported. In addition, while most faculty are paid for the academic year and are not required to work over the summer or between academic terms, 12 of the 25 individuals appointed as full professors received year-round appointments, which are associated with higher salaries in recognition of the additional work expected. System-wide salary information is available at http://www.calstate.edu/hr/faculty-resources/research-analysis/faculty-summary-data-and-reports.shtml.

Report on the 2016 Faculty Recruitment and Retention Survey 24
More than 56% of new faculty whose previous employment was outside the CSU were in instructional faculty roles, either in tenure-line positions or in a variety of non-tenure-track positions. Another 20% held post-doctoral or other research positions. For the past eight years, CSU campuses have consistently made between 10 and 15% of new tenure-track appointments from their own campus lecturer populations, as illustrated in Table 22. In fall 2016, only about 4% of new CSU tenure-track appointees previously worked at another CSU campus; of those who did, about half were previously in tenure-track positions, while the other half were in lecturer positions. The total number of new tenure-track faculty who previously held CSU lecturer positions in the CSU was 125 (14.6%).
Table 22. Percent of New Tenure-Track Appointments from Campus Lecturers, 2009 to 2016
In Table 23, sources of new tenure-track faculty are broken out by discipline. Campus lecturers were most likely to move into tenure-track positions in agriculture, fine arts, and the health sciences fields. On the other end of the spectrum, new faculty in business/management, letters/humanities, and mathematics/computer sciences were overwhelmingly recruited from institutions of higher education outside the CSU. Table 24 presents sources of tenure-track faculty on each campus. In fall 2016, three campuses hired at least one-fifth of new tenure-track faculty from their campus lecturer pool (Channel Islands, 35%; Maritime, 25%; San José, 20.3%). New CSU faculty members came from 45 states plus the District of Columbia as well as 60 different international universities, research organizations, and other employers from outside the United States. Appendix C consists of a list of prior employers of new CSU hires. California institutions accounted for 157 (18.4%) of new hires. Texas (39), New York (33), Florida (29), and Illinois (27) were the biggest out-of-state sources of new faculty. Appendix D provides information on where new faculty obtained their terminal degrees. Of the individuals hired in 2016, 246 received degrees from California institutions, including 144 who received degrees from campuses of the University of California. UC Berkeley led all institutions, with 32 new faculty earning their terminal degrees there, followed by UCLA (24), USC (20), UC Davis (17),

Recruitment Process
The California State University
The CSU provides additional employment incentives to new faculty members, including service credit toward probation, appointments with tenure, moving expenses, start-up funding, and workload reductions. In Table 25, the percentage of faculty members hired with service credit or with tenure is presented; 162 individuals received either one or two years of service credit (two years is the maximum permitted by the current CFA collective bargaining agreement) and 19 were hired with tenure.

Report on the 2016 Faculty Recruitment and Retention Survey 28
Sonoma was the campus most likely to offer credit toward tenure; 10 out of 17 of its new appointees received tenure or credit toward tenure. By contrast, only one out of 19 new faculty at San Marcos (5.3%) received tenure or credit toward tenure; other campuses with low percentages included Maritime (0%), San Diego (9.4%), and Los Angeles (9.6%). Most campuses now offer workload reductions to new faculty members to provide time for course preparation or establishing a research program. We asked campuses to report workload reduction in weighted teaching units (WTU) for the entire probationary period. Campuses were asked to report the total number of WTU provided, regardless of source of funding. In 2016, nearly all new appointees (98.4%) received a reduction in workload; the average number of WTU awarded was 17.7and the median was 12 WTU, or four courses.
Table 26. Workload Reduction Offered to New Tenure-Track Faculty, 2016
Most new faculty members (84.9%) received start-up funding; these funds may typically be used for a variety of purposes, including professional travel, equipment purchases including computers and laboratory equipment, research supplies, student assistant support, books and journals, or other items that may be negotiated. Of those who received start-up funding, the average award was $35,078. Start-up funding practices vary significantly by discipline, as seen in Table 27; the average award in the natural sciences was $113,109, almost double the average for engineering, which had the second-highest award average ($67,016). In Table 28, start-up funds are reported by campus. Both the average and the median of all who received funding are presented. Campuses were asked to include support from all funding sources, including state funds as well as grants and contracts, endowment income, and other resources. The largest average awards were at San Diego, followed by Northridge, San Francisco, Fullerton, and Los Angeles. The largest single award was $798,864 for an engineering faculty member at San Diego. Most campuses offer support for moving expenses to new faculty members, subject to CSU policies on allowable moving and relocation expenses. About three-fourths (76.6%) of all new faculty members received such support in 2016. Table 29 lists the moving expense awards by campus, averaged over all appointments as well as over those who received funds.
The investment by campuses in support for new tenure-track faculty is considerable. In 2016, the combined value of start-up funding offered to new appointees across the system was approximately $25.43 million, while awards for moving expenses totaled more than $3.24 million. The combined workload reductions were the equivalent of 460.0 positions; using the estimated cost of replacing these positions as the minimum salary for assistant professors, which was $55,152 in fall 2016, the total value of workload reductions was about $25.37 million. Adding up these three components, the average investment in new faculty in 2016 was about $63,279 per person hired. The total investment in new faculty support of $54.04 million reported

here should be considered a minimum, as it does not include the value of orientations and other professional development programs offered to new faculty. Note that since 2014-15, probationary faculty are contractually guaranteed a reduced teaching assignment in the first two years.

Recruitment Outcomes
The California State University
In order to gain a better understanding of the reasons why some searches were unsuccessful, campuses were asked to report the reasons why searches were not completed, as well as reasons why top candidates declined offers of employment. A successful search is defined as one in which the position was ultimately filled, whether or not the top choice accepted the appointment. Table 30 summarizes the reported reasons for unsuccessful searches over the last three years. Consistently over the past few hiring cycles, the top reason given by campuses for unsuccessful searches was inadequate candidate pools. All offers declined was the second most commonly cited reason in both 2015 and 2016.
Table 30. Unsuccessful Tenure-Track Searches, 2014-2016
Overall, out of 145 unsuccessful searches in 2016, at least one candidate received an offer of employment in 74 searches (51%). In searches that were concluded successfully, however, the top candidate accepted the position almost 85% of the time. The distribution of searches in which one or more offers were declined is presented in Table 31.

Table 31. Distribution of Searches in Which the Top Candidate Declined an Offer
When one or more candidates declined offers of employment, regardless of whether the position was ultimately filled, campuses were asked to provide the reasons given by the top candidate for declining the position. Table 32 summarizes the reasons candidates provided in 2016. In more than 42% of the cases, the candidate indicated that he/she had received a better offer from another institution. Salary was identified as the issue about 18% of the time. Issues that might be considered “environmental” – having more to do with the location of the campus than with the position itself – including availability of spousal employment, housing costs, and unspecified family issues together were the primary reason for 14% of declines. High teaching load was cited by only a small fraction as the primary reason for declines. The survey allowed the campuses to provide a second reason why a top candidate declined an offer. Only 28 responses were recorded. Family/personal reasons was mentioned most often as the secondary reason why the top candidate declined an employment offer. Table 32.

Non-Reappointments, Tenure Denials, and Resignations
The California State University
Since 2003, the system has requested information on tenure denials and non-reappointments of probationary faculty members. Historically, around 1% of all probationary faculty are denied reappointment or tenure in a given year. However, it has been trending lower of late. In 2015-16, campuses reported 11 denials of tenure or reappointment out of a total population of 2,545 probationary faculty; thus, about 0.4% of all probationary faculty received denials. In the five previous years, the counts were 42, 40, 39, 26, and 19. This declining trend may be a reflection of the decrease in tenure-track hires during the Great Recession; with the large number of new hires over the last three years, the count of tenure denials and non-reappointments should increase in future years. Tables 33 and 34 show the distribution of non-reappointments and denials of tenure by campus and by discipline, respectively. Campuses also were asked to report on resignations of tenured and probationary faculty members. Beginning in 2005-06, we began separately reporting resignations according to tenure status. Table 35 shows resignations of probationary and tenured faculty over the past 10 years. In all years, probationary faculty resignations far exceed resignations of tenured faculty. During the 2015-16 academic year, 4.13% of probationary faculty resigned, and 0.83% of tenured faculty resigned.

For the past several years, we have asked campuses to report on the reasons given by faculty who have resigned. These reasons are reported in Table 38. More than half of faculty who resigned indicated they had accepted another job or were looking for one. Desire to relocate and spousal employment each were also highly cited as reasons for resignations; a small fraction indicated job dissatisfaction, family/child care, and health as their primary resignation reason.

Conclusions
The California State University
1. In 2015-16, the CSU initiated 999 searches, leading to the appointment of 854 new tenure-
track faculty, for a success rate of 85%. The total number of searches and appointments in 2015-16 was similar compared to 2014-15; new hires over the past three years have finally been adequate to replace tenure-track faculty who leave the CSU and to staff the tenure-track ranks to pre-recession levels.
2. In searches that were concluded successfully, the top candidate accepted the position almost
85% of the time. 3. The size of candidate pools varied considerably by discipline; health sciences and
family/consumer sciences produced the smallest average pools, while the largest were in mathematics/computer science. Among sub-disciplines, nursing and nutrition had the smallest applicant pools, while mathematics, economics, and radio/film/television had the largest pools.
4. A small majority of new faculty members were female (54%). Members of minority groups
comprised 42% of new hires. 5. Average salaries of new faculty members increased from 2015 to 2016 to an average of
$78,908. The total average value of workload reductions, start-up funds, and moving expense reimbursements was over $63,000.
6. Candidates were hired from 45 states plus the District of Columbia as well as 60 institutions
outside the United States. Approximately 46% of new faculty earned their doctorates from Association of American Universities (AAU) member institutions.
7. Faculty attrition remained low; about 0.4% of probationary faculty were denied
reappointment or tenure in 2015-16. The overall resignation rate for all faculty was 1.7% and the resignation rate for probationary faculty was 4.1%.
