Non-Instructional Staff
Source for Non-Instructional Staff data is IPEDS
Human Resources survey.
HR survey classifies employees according to
occupation.
Non-Instructional Staff
“Death by a Thousand Cuts” report
documented growth in
“Executive/Administrative/Managerial”
employees.
Changes to occupational classifications
beginning with the 2012 IPEDS HR survey make
data incompatible with earlier years.
Non-Instructional Staff
Also, during this period UMKC undertook a “global
grading process”.
This resulted in many employees’ titles being
changed, and in many cases their occupational
code was changed as well.
This introduces additional incompatibilities in the
data pre and post 2012, and may be responsible for
some of the changes observed since 2012.

What are the patterns?
• All faculty and instructional staff continue to experience cuts in salary,
benefits, resources, and access to the tools essential to education and
research
• Headcount of Tenured and Tenure-Track faculty continue to decline
while NTT faculty increase
• Expenditure at the Executive Managerial and non-instructional levels
continues to increase
Draft Resolution
• The UMKC Faculty Senate is dismayed by the decline in numbers of
tenure-track and tenured faculty at this institution and urges that
resources be raised and/or reallocated in order to rebuild the ranks of
Assistant, Associate, and full Professors. In order for UMKC to excel
in the future, we must also develop plans to convert part-time nontenure-track positions to full-time tenure-track positions or positions
that are long-term. This may include conversion of existing contingent
faculty to jobs that are tenure-eligible.
