Driven by the lessons learned during the pandemic and the need to create spaces that accommodate today’s demand for tech-forward hybrid learning, the era of classroom redesign is here.

After a downturn in faculty hiring during the pandemic, the last three years have seen an overall uptick in hiring, with tenured positions even making some gains. But the bigger picture, both for institutions and those seeking work, remains in flux – and politically fraught.


What are the trends in hiring, and how do they differ across different types of institutions and regions? 


For professors and those seeking work, inflation and the pandemic caused the real value of faculty salaries, both tenured and non-tenured, to drop. Other money-saving trends, such as shifts toward contingent faculty, lead to less pay, fewer benefits, and reduced access to professional development for nontenured educators. 


Other uncertainties arise around the current administration, such as the uncertainty of research funding. There’s also a growing divide among red and blue states affecting hiring, as potential talent may be more polarized in their predilection.
