The following questions are provided as a starting point for task force discussions and are not intended to limit the range of discussions.

How can we best enable the effectiveness of all faculty?
How do we become more competitive in recruiting faculty (e.g., through start-up packages)?
How many faculty do we need, and in which areas? How can we substantially increase the number and proportion of faculty, especially tenured/tenure-track faculty with research portfolios? What should be the role of cluster hiring?
What is the appropriate balance between tenure-track and non-tenure-track faculty for NC State? What is the role of non-tenure-track faculty?
