In his letter, Knowles noted that the total number of professors has not increased since 1987, despite the addition of several new tenured positions.
Knowles said he expects to have proposals to "shape" neuroscience and computational sciences in the near future.
Knowles also discussed the changing Faculty demographics in light of the Capital Campaign's pledge to increase appointments and the graying of senior Faculty since the abolition of a mandatory retirement age.
"We did aim and we have succeeded in raising the number of tenured colleagues," Knowles said.
Knowles added that each department must work to improve junior Faculty recruitment and retention, noting that junior Faculty provide the "vibrancy" that leads to innovative teaching and research.
