Abstract

Regarding the position and significance of the faculty members as one of the indisputable principles underlying any university and their function both in promoting the academic level and in developing knowledge scopes and borders, as well as regarding the contribution and the role the Islamic Azad University can make and play in provision of the academic requirements of the country, this university in its present status aims to recruit all its required faculty members in terms of its strategic and academic development timetable concerning its student population and the provincial or regional academic needs. It follows the strategy indicating the campuses seek to communicate three messages: 1. they are earnestly committed to candidà‡e's scholarly credentials; 2. they are intellectually lively and well committed to diversity and excellence in the faculty, staff and student body; and 3. they follow to provide a place with a variety of humane, family-friendly policies. Therefore, an index has been defined to determine the existing shortage of faculty members. Such an index enables us to evaluate the state of the academic fields of study as well as the status of the academic requirements in different divisions and departments of a college. In effect, it is based on the amount of credits in terms of which tuition fee is paid in each division.
