Given the academic job market, they will have zero problems attracting quality and qualified professors.[/quote]

The trend is to hire adjunct and other contingent faculty because tenure/tenure track professors are considered too expensive. This hurts educational quality for everyone.[/quote]

"The university is experiencing exceptional growth in its enrollment, which is matched by a similar increase in faculty. Fifty-seven tenured and tenure-track faculty will join Rice this academic year, and 40 nontenure track faculty will join Rice this calendar year."[/quote]

I would bet anything that the rate of increase in nontenure track faculty is higher than the rate of increase in tenure track professors.[/quote]
