closeCHAPEL HILL -- UNC-Chapel Hill had a good year for faculty retention in 2007-2008.
Of the 51 faculty members who got offers from other schools, UNC-CH made counteroffers to 26. Of those, 18 stayed, and eight left.
The retention numbers are among the materials the UNC-CH Board of Trustees will discuss at its meetings today and Thursday.

The report said last year's hefty salary increases helped the university retain tenured and tenure-track faculty, and it cautioned that lower increases next year will make the university less competitive.
The board will gather for Chancellor Holden Thorp's first trustees meeting at 4 p.m. today at Carolina Inn. Other agenda items include approving designs for the Kenan Stadium expansion and the Carolina North Innovation Center.
