Folt discusses faculty retention at SA meeting

By Ann Baum | January 28, 2009

Faculty retention at Dartmouth is "healthy" and comparable to retention at peer institutions, Dean of Faculty Carol Folt said at Tuesday night's Student Assembly meeting. The Assembly asked Folt to speak in response to student inquiries and to educate Assembly members, Student Body President Molly Bode '09 said. The recruitment of Dartmouth faculty by other universities is a sign of the quality of the College's professors, Folt said. "If our faculty aren't being recruited on a regular basis from some place else, that's a major failure," she said. At a small school like Dartmouth, faculty departures are also more noticeable than at larger universities, Folt said. In an overview of the College's tenure-selection process, Folt said Dartmouth takes into account both research and teaching when making tenure decisions. "They're going to have to have that dual role," she said.
