So even if three tenure-track profs are added, there may be fewer faculty bodies on campus in 2012.



They may not have an actual decline in faculty numbers because they had some unfilled tenure track slots going into this year. So, they will be increasing by three new tenure track slots plus some number of previously unfilled slots. Bottom line is that they faculty numbers may stay pretty much the same over the next three years. Of course, the student enrollement will be increasing by 180 to 200 students. With the current 8-1 ratio, they should be increasing the size of the faculty by 20 to 25 positions. That would, however, defeat the purpose of increasing enrollment to boost revenue.
