Starting from a Fake University-Chapter 114 Opportunity Comes!_1

"Of course, we need to continue recruiting teaching staff."

Ding Yue answered Xu Bin’s question without hesitation.

"Right, after this semester ends, we will start recruiting new students for September. The annual recruitment is of the utmost importance, so we will need more university teachers and other staff by then."

Huang Youjie, for once, made a clever analysis.

"Huang is right. Currently, we only have around five hundred faculty members at Mist City Arts and Science University, which barely meets the needs of our nine thousand six hundred or so students. I estimate that the number of new students this year will definitely exceed ten thousand, so the number of faculty members must be at least one thousand, if not more."

Ding Yue set the target for this year’s faculty recruitment for Xu Bin, who was in charge of administrative affairs.

The goal is to double the number of faculty members.

It’s true that many lecturers can teach freshmen and sophomores, and some courses in some majors are actually interconnected.

But as the number of students in the school increases, if there aren’t enough faculty members, the overall teaching and daily operations of the school may become sluggish.

Ding Yue doesn’t want to see that happen.

"Okay, the recruitment of faculty members, I will continue to handle it," agreed Xu Bin.

"Additionally, our teaching team can’t be only teaching assistants and lecturers, we must also have professors."

Ding Yue thought of the [University Professor Identification Card] he had won from his [University Treasure Chest].

With this card, Ding Yue can specifically recruit university professors to his school, enriching the teaching team.

Moreover, the level of professors at a university, in a sense, represents the teaching level of that university.

"It’s not that easy to recruit professors. Even associate professors are hard to find."

Xu Bin shook his head helplessly.

At present, most of the teachers at Mist City Arts and Science University are at the lecturer level.

A typical university has four levels of faculty positions.

They are teaching assistants, lecturers, associate professors, and professors.

The main job of teaching assistants is to assist in teaching; they can’t independently conduct a specialized course. At this stage, some of the faculty at Mist City Arts and Science University are teaching assistants.

These positions can be filled by graduate students.

Then there are the lecturers.

Lecturers are university teachers who can independently offer one or more courses. They are the most common on university campuses.

Most of the instructors at Mist City Arts and Science University are lecturers.

Needless to say, associate professors and professors.

In addition to teaching undergraduates, associate professors and professors can guide graduate students to complete creative work that does not currently exist in the bank of knowledge and methods.

If Ding Yue wants Mist City Arts and Science University to have a master’s program, then the school must have faculty at the professor level.

But the problem is...

As Xu Bin just said, professors are not so easy to recruit.

Moreover, Mist City Arts and Science University’s foundation isn’t very strong yet. Professors are working well in other universities, why would they come to a lesser-known private university like Mist City Arts and Science University?

"We’ll have to figure out a way. There’s always more solutions than problems!" Ding Yue shrugged and said to his two partners.

"Brother Yue, I’ve been thinking, to attract professors to work at Mist City Arts and Science University, first of all, we need to have something impressive to show, does the Hop Cup award that the Architecture School won count?"

"Of course it counts."

Ding Yue nodded, thinking this was a direction worthy of breakthrough.

Mist City Arts and Science University’s Architecture School has won the Hop Cup Best Creative Award last year, which is a notable honor.

Huang Youjie’s idea is to use this honor to recruit professors in the field of architecture.

Ding!

"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the task [University Professors]."

"University Professors Task: The school has 5 or more professors."

"Task Reward: 100 Reputation Points, one [University Treasure Chest (Level 2)]."

Just as Ding Yue was discussing with Huang Youjie and Xu Bin about hiring professors, the system timely issued a new task to Ding Yue.

This task perfectly matches what Ding Yue wants to do.

This supports Ding Yue’s previous speculation.

That is, when he wants to do something related to the school, the system often generates a corresponding task.

This is done to encourage Ding Yue to accomplish the task.

So it seems that it is a must for Mist City Arts and Science University to recruit at least five professors to work in the new semester.

"Bin, you start recruiting teaching assistants, lecturers, and other staff first, and then compile a list of professors from architecture majors in universities in and around Mist City for me."

"Ok, I will do it right away."

...

A week later.

On Friday, Ding Yue was conducting the "Measurement of Young’s Modulus" physics experiment in an ordinary laboratory of the newly formed Physics Department.

This semester, Ding Yue only needs to complete the related experimental courses for the physics major to earn the full credits and graduate.

Suddenly, a phone call came in.

"Hello?"

"Principal Ding, it’s me, Chen Ping."

"Director Chen, what’s up? Is there some problem with the construction project?" Ding Yue asked. freewёbnoνel.com

As the construction of Mist City Arts and Science University was mainly managed by Chen Ping, the Dean of the Architecture College, Ding Yue thought it would be something related to the construction project when Chen Ping called him.

"No, Principal Ding, the construction project is going very smoothly. The thing is, I heard from Director Xu that the school is currently recruiting professors in various majors, is that right?"

"Yes, do you have a recommendation, Director Chen?"

"Well, my university teacher Liu Gongcheng, the Civil Engineering Professor from Carp City Architecture University..."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue’s eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Is there a chance for Professor Liu to come to our Mist City Arts and Science University?"

"Professor Liu has recently encountered some issues at home and may need a sum of money, so he’s considering whether to switch to a better place." Chen Ping replied with a slightly heavy tone.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Ding Yue’s mind stirred and he pulled up the system interface.

Then he used the [University Professor Identification Card] tool.

"Liu Gongcheng."

Ding Yue wrote this name on the [University Professor Identification Card].

The next second.

The corresponding identification information appeared on the card.

[University Professor Identification Card]——

Name: Liu Gongcheng

Position: Professor (Carp City Architecture University Civil Engineering)

Employability Rate: 60%

Suggestion: The host can offer the professor the salary and benefits he wants to increase the employability rate.

"Okay, then I’ll make a trip to Carp City."

After speaking, Ding Yue hung up Chen Ping’s phone and called his secretary, Wen Ruohan.

"Principal Ding, what can I do for you?"

"Book a flight to Carp City for me."

The next day.

Mist City Airport.
