College Administrator Data/Turnover Rates Through 2022

February 6, 2023/in University Highlights 2023

New research from Higher Education Publications, Inc. indicates the turnover of college administrators during The Great Resignation in fact, is not so “great.” Our data shows that higher education administrators are not leaving in any remarkable numbers, with overall turnover trending slightly lower when compared to pre-pandemic/great resignation levels.

Analysis of our HEP Directory Data Extracts tracked administrators at accredited colleges and universities in two-year increments from 2013 through January of 2022. The higher education database consists of over 90,000 self-reported administrators; ranging from presidents to directors of alumni through deans in academic sectors (such as business, humanities, and law).

When looking at job changes in the college administrator database, we found total administrator turnover has fallen to 19.1% in the last two years. Down from a 20.7% high during the 2015-2017 semesters (see charts below).

All Administrators
Years	Total	Changed	% Change
2013-2015	91,736	18,898	20.60%
2015-2017	91,822	20,364	22.18%
2017-2019	90,427	19,373	21.42%
2019-2021	90,466	17,558	19.41%

We additionally targeted higher-level positions for the same semesters. Administrators specifically analyzed were presidents, provosts, chief financial officers, chief of operations/administration, advancement/development directors, chief technology officers, chief HR officers and chief student affairs officers.

Though the data shows that presidential turnover is slightly elevated, it has yet to reach the highest rates seen in 2013-2015 and 2015-2017. We found that presidents and chancellors have changed at a rate of 23.5% in the last two years, up from a 20% low in the 2017-2019 (see chart). The previous four years of 2013-2017 averaged a higher 24.6% turnover overall.

Presidents and Chancellors
Years	Total	Changed	% Change
2013-2015	3,755	888	23.65%
2015-2017	3,705	926	24.99%
2017-2019	3,611	720	19.94%
2019-2021	3,362	746	22.19%

Provost, admissions directors and directors of development data followed the same trend with turnover ticking up slightly in the last two years.

Provosts trended up from 29.9% in 2017-2019, to 31% in 2019-2022, and admissions directors from 19.5% to 21.1 % (see charts). Likewise, the highest turnover was seen in the 2013-2015 semesters.

Provosts
Years	Total	Changed	% Change
2013-2015	3,812	1,239	32.50%
2015-2017	3,979	1,220	30.66%
2017-2019	3,926	1,174	29.90%
2019-2021	3,750	1,162	30.99%

Directors of Admissions
Years	Total	Changed	% Change
2013-2015	2,778	697	25.09%
2015-2017	2,830	663	23.43%
2017-2019	2,730	532	19.49%
2019-2021	2,482	524	21.11%

Development Directors did show an increased turnover rate, up to 15.8% from the previous low of 12.9% in 2017-2019.

Directors of Development
Years	Total	Adjusted	% Change
2013-2015	2,328	569	24.44%
2015-2017	2,306	327	14.18%
2017-2019	1,450	187	12.90%
2019-2021	1,083	171	15.79%

Of the specifically selected positions, one showed a discernable decrease in turnover during the covid/resignation years. Chief of Administration/Operations rates fell to 12.9%, down from 14.9% in the 2017-2019 semesters (see chart).

Chief of Administration/Directors of Operations
Years	Total	Changed	% Change
2013-2015	1,107	151	13.64%
2015-2017	1,010	163	16.14%
2017-2019	1,007	151	15.00%
2019-2021	1,014	131	12.92%

The other four specifically tracked positions remained consistent with a turnover of 1% or less. (Chief information technology officers, chief HR, and chief student affairs officer turnover increased < 1%, CFOs decreased 1%.

In this case, our college administrator data suggests relative stability despite the challenges Covid-19 has delivered. When solely looking at the numbers, overall administrator change is down. Any positions that have increased in turnover are only slightly elevated. Though slowly trending higher, they have yet to reach the height of previous years (2013-15, 2015-17).

However, managing a higher education institution is never easy. Administrator turnover impacts student recruiting, marketing, and retention opportunities. The pandemic has exacerbated already-existing financial woes for many institutions and added a slew of public health concerns – keeping colleges under the national microscope. Additionally, a change in college demographics has shifted student bodies away from the common 18- to 24-year-old traditionally enrolled, increasing higher education’s need for robust financial aid and flexible academic programs.

In the long term, many believe this will force a transition to more adaptive leadership styles, allowing navigation through modern challenges. At this moment, however, we have yet to see the substantial number of administrator resignations and new hirings many have forecasted.

Integrate IPEDS Info Into Your College Administrator Database

August 24, 2022/in University Highlights

Every year the United States Department of Education collects an overwhelmingly extensive amount of information on colleges and universities — Not taking advantage of this valuable IPEDS data set is a missed opportunity.

Though incredibly useful the IPEDS data can be tedious to deal with.

We can help.

Along with our College Email Database, HEP Inc. has over 35 years of experience working with IPEDS data to improve your prospect research, marketing and expansion. Some of the data points available are:

Graduation Rates
Tuition/Financial Aid
Admissions and Test Scores
Enrollment Part-time/Full-time, Online/On-campus, Graduate/Undergraduate
Full-time staff vs Part-time staff, Number of Faculty

Decades of experience in dealing with IPEDS information (and a background in this particular dataset) allows us to create pertinent material for all organizations to grow with including:

Private businesses and non-profits for use in prospect marketing, economic growth, university growth analysis, and higher education accountability.
Federal and state government agencies for a myriad of purposes including: policy analysis, institutional accountability, workforce demand/supply analysis, and state budget forecasting.
Colleges and Universities for use in institutional research, finance and budget offices, and academic departments for analyzing enrollment trends, faculty and staff planning, as well as benchmarking and program planning.

With such an abundance of IPEDS higher education information on record, fusing the right data is challenging. Our ability to integrate IPEDS data with the Higher Education Directory Database allows institutions and businesses the ability target more effectively and increase overall growth.

Let’s get the conversation started – contact us HERE and see how our data can work for you.
