U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Plans to Add 500 Full-Time Professors

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign announced this week that it would hire about 500 new full-time, tenure-track faculty members in the next five to seven years.

University officials now want to restore the total number of full-time faculty members to a level closer to what the campus had in 2007, just before the recession hit."
