II. The University's Mission and Current and Future Characteristics
C. Faculty and Staff Size
The number of tenured/tenure-track faculty at the university is expected to increase by 5 percent to 1447 over the next five years, as a result of enhancement funding from the state, and then remain fairly constant over the duration of this Master Plan. However, the total number of all faculty and staff is projected to increase by 1 percent per year as a result of the growth of our externally-funded research programs. We project research funding to grow by a rate twice that of inflation, based on the performance of the past five years, in which there was an average growth rate of research funding of 8 percent/year. This growth in faculty and staff is depicted in Tables 4 and 5. These data correspond to the university's 10-year enrollment projections that are filed on an annual basis with the University System of Maryland Office.
