Moderating undergraduate enrollment growth and increasing online graduate enrollment will require new investments in instructional faculty in order to support UGA’s market position and provide an outstanding educational experience for students. Therefore, over the next five years, UGA will hire 115 tenure-track faculty to ensure instructional faculty keeps pace with enrollment growth.
To ensure UGA continues to deliver an excellent educational experience, this report recommends maintaining a 17:1 student-to-faculty ratio.
This plan will address competitive market rate and salary compression among tenure-track faculty positions. UGA will hire additional non-tenure-track and staff positions to support overall enrollment growth as well.
