Following several decades of expansion that facilitated growth and development of opportunities for faculty, projections of declining enrollment of students and postponed retirement of senior faculty have created a renewed interest in human-resource planning for universities. This paper proposes a planning framework that focuses in particular on the consequences of exogenous changes for internal faculty promotions and draws attention to tradeoffs among potentially competing objectives. A goalprogramming variation is applied to a fractional flow model of organizational mobility, and is illustrated by simulation of five-year planning scenarios at a large liberal-arts college. © 1985.
