UW-Extension, UW-Stevens Point See Higher Turnover Rates - Danielle Kaeding, WPR

The University of Wisconsin-Extension, UW Colleges and UW-Stevens Point saw the greatest rates of faculty turnover in the 2018 fiscal year. About a quarter of faculty left UW-Extension, followed by UW Colleges at around 11.5 percent and UW-Stevens Point at roughly 10.5 percent. UW-Extension had 45 out of 188 faculty either retire or resign in the last fiscal year, according to UW System's fiscal 2018 faculty turnover report. Karl Martin, dean and director of Cooperative Extension, said the higher rate of turnover was due to faculty who took advantage of buyouts. https://www.wpr.org/uw-extension-sees-highest-rate-faculty-turnover
