Initiative Title	Recruitment and retention of faculty
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	2019
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	The Nursing department faces a significant challenge of recruiting and retaining new faculty, while competing with higher salaries paid to nurses outside of academia. Currently we have three open faculty full-time lines that were not allowed to be filled last Spring, and three additional faculty members (two of them tenured, one of which is the Assistant Chairperson) will be leaving after the fall 2019 semester, leaving total of 6 open tenure-track lines. Two faculty members are participating in the PRT process in fall 2019 for tenure, and three are candidates for retention spring 2020. It is critical that we not only attract quality full-time faculty, but we need to foster their development and success as nurse educators. Therefore we need to continue to mentor and develop newer faculty and fill open positions so as not to jeopardize the quality of the program.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Continued high faculty attrition rates and failure to fill vacancies in the Nursing department will result in program quality being negatively impacted. Completion rates and NCLEX scores will continue their decline or to decrease even further below benchmark and state/national averages and could result in program closure.
Department Goals	Recruit and retain quality nurse educators and technical lab assistants in sufficient numbers/hours to achieve program outcomes.
