7. 7 The Faculty Excellence Initiative (FEI) targets recruitment of new tenure and tenure- track faculty in disciplines and programs that represent strategic initiatives designed to advance the national profile of the University of South Carolina. USC will hire an additional 150 new tenured and tenure-track faculty by the year 2010 and replace additional faculty retirees. Hiring replacements for retiring faculty results in a net cost above the salary savings resulting from departure, and the cost is substantial even when assistant professors are hired to replace full and associate professors. Academic units submit competitive proposals to the Provost for the funds. Faculty hired under the program have outstanding records and potential, and they are from a variety of academic disciplines. This includes the sciences, arts, medicine, and professional schools. The enrollment at USC Columbia has increased substantially in the last four years with an 18% growth since Fall 2001. Recurring Funds - New Faculty Salaries - $3,200,000, New Faculty Fringe - $ 800,000 Faculty Excellence Initiative - $4,000,000
