Faculty search committee actions (a case of MGM/MKT/GBUS Department at College of Business and Public Management, Wenzhou-Kean University)
Faculty is the most fundamental and valuable asset to achieve an educational institution's mission, vision, and strategic goals.
Acquiring the best and appropriate faculty is the most critical and necessary thing to secure a high quality of education.
Wenzhou-Kean University (WKU) took over the faculty hiring authority from the Headquarter campus since August., 2019.
WKU set up a new faculty hiring policy and exercise it with newly established procedures and processes.

April 21, 2021: Significant Shortcoming in Acquring Business Faculty Workforce at WKU.
WKU CBPM MGM Search Committee conducted 6 job talks (Sept. 2020 - April 2021), and we recommended those candidates.
However, only one candidate confirmed coming to WKU so far.
6% from Assessment;
17% from WKU Job offers.
We know WKU is not the best option for many strong candidates.
But, the ratio of acceptance and enrollment in WKU is way too low.
