Thanks, Larry.

We are looking at both what questions should we be asking and what information would we like to know to measure our individual and institutional success. I love data, so of course, I want to ask a LOT of questions... but probably should pare it down to something manageable.

The only measure that I have trouble with is any reference to tracking by faculty rank! Many faculty are active when they first start at an institution then, as they gain years of service and tenure, tend to drop off.

We did take a look at faculty submission rates several years ago and found that some were very active until they were granted tenure and then disappeared!

While most of the measures that you mention are valid, it all depends on what your institution values and how they reward certain behaviors. For example, are there regular post-tenure reviews and what factors make for a successful review. That may help guide what measures are important.

But you probably already knew that!

Cheers.

Larry
