I believe I've incorporated all corrections to the first draft of the faculty lists for the fall 2011 surveys. To that end, here is the second draft: Download PGR Faculty Lists 2011-12.
If I failed to incorporate a previously posted correction, my apologies: please either post again or e-mail me.
Two points to note: (1) we used to have a category for "emeritus faculty still teaching," but it has been eliminated, since it became clear it was being abused and it was too difficult to get accurate information; faculty who are emeritus at a school are not eligible to be listed (surely retiring means something!); however, faculty emeritus at school X can hold a teaching appointment at school Y, as many do; (2) I have removed in this draft all post-docs. This had only been an issue for some schools in Australia and the U.K., which had multi-year post-docs. But it turns out that many of those listed previously were actually not multi-year post-docs, and most moved on relatively quickly. If there are genuine cases of someone starting a 4+ year post-doc in fall 2012 at schools where post-docs are involved in graduate teaching and supervision, please let me know.
There are also still some issues being sorted out about part-time appointments. There are some faculty whose various appointments add up to more than full-time, usually because of teaching on different Continents. The criterion is time in residence during term time, not representations about how much work someone is doing even when not in residence; there is a presumption in this draft that no one should be more than 1.33 time in total. Part-time faculty are presumptively half-time, unless otherwise noted parenthetically; part-time fractions have been rounded to .25, .33, .66 or .75.
Remember: the benchmark for the faculty list is fall 2012, so, e.g., faculty who will be retired by then are not on the list, or faculty who have already committed to be elsewhere by then, are listed with the department they will be with 2012 (assuming it is part of the survey).
Please post corrections to the list in the comments, unless it pertains to a sensitive matter, in which case e-mail me.
All faculties from the 2009 PGR are included if they had a score of 2.1 or higher in those surveys. The only exceptions are faculties with a score lower than 2.1 that have had significant changes since then that might raise the score. In addition, of course, some faculties not surveyed in recent years have been added. Faculties not included this year will continue to be ranked in the specialty rankings based on the 2009 results, with adjustments, where appropriate, based on input from the Advisory Board.
Because the most frequent complaint of PGR evaluators concerns the large number of faculties they are asked to evaluate, it is necessary to keep the total number of faculties included at a reasonable number, which is why we can not survey all faculties every time.
Only faculty at the department in question should post corrections. Signed comments only.
