Differences by School
Only 17% of CFS faculty and 15% of Technology faculty have very seriously considered leaving, compared to 46% of Library faculty, 42% of Education faculty, and 41% of Science faculty. While aggregate responses from CFS, Technology, Science, and Education are similar to question 4 above, correlation's between these two questions based on individual responses are not significant.
Differences by Rank
Non-tenured faculty are less likely (29%) than associate and full professors (36% and 35% respectively) to have given very serious consideration to leaving Purdue.
Differences by Gender
The same proportion of men and women report having very seriously considered leaving Purdue (34%).
Differences by Race
Although Asian Americans are somewhat less likely than Caucasians and underrepresented minorities to say they would join Purdue again without reservation (see Question 4 above), they are the least likely to report very seriously considering leaving Purdue (23% have done so vs. 34% of Caucasians and 42% of underrepresented minorities).
