What is the purpose of the Faculty Exit and Retention Survey?

We have two aims:

(a)    to standardize, as much as possible across many institutions, the data collected and stored about faculty upon their departure, and


(b)   to understand the causes, costs, and patterns of faculty mobility.
 

The symbiosis of these goals makes their fulfillment a natural candidate for a research-practice partnership – one that will continue to accrue data and insight for many years to come.
