I'm hearing from the comments (first and second) of my previous entries that some of you feel that the number of slackers is greater then 1% and less then 50% of professors at SIUC are retired in place (RIP). So what is the number?
I can name enough professors to believe that the numbers approach 20% of professors who are really slacking (aka RIP). I think that more than half are under achieving. I'm sure that 30% are really working hard and getting giving better results than SIU deserves.
What do you think? What are the numbers?

In my department at Southern, which had over 30 tenured/tenure-track faculty, there are three I can name off the top of my head having RIP status, with another two that have insulated themselves from certain criticisms by virtue of having assumed a set of “special duties” in the department, ones that do not require them to do research. So, that approaches the 20% threshold of which you speak.
Your commentary is really fantasic reading Don. Thanks.
