Release of Faculty-Productivity Data Roils U. of Texas, By Audrey Williams June, Chronicle of Higher Education

  • “How much professors in the University of Texas system earn and how many courses and students they teach were parts of a vast data file that system officials compiled at the request of a newly formed task force on productivity and excellence and released publicly on Thursday. Professors immediately voiced concerns that the information would be used to incorrectly gauge their efficiency on the job. However, system officials stressed that the data in the 821-page spreadsheet, which covers nine institutions, was in draft form and “is incomplete and has not yet been fully verified or cross referenced,” according to a statement issued by Anthony P. de Bruyn, the system’s director of public affairs. “In its present raw form, it cannot yield accurate analysis, interpretations, or conclusions.”
