Product-oriented approaches often ignore writing processes entirely or depict simple,linear processes of both writing (plan→write→edit) and writing instruction(assign→submit→grade). However, the field of writing studies has largely rejected the productapproach in favor of writing-as-process models for writing instruction since the 1970s [11].Writing-as-process shifts attention from the final products to the complex, cyclical processesthrough which writing is developed.

Analysis and FindingsMuch of the literature on faculty retention relies on turnover intentions (i.e., plans or desires toleave) as a proxy for actual turnover [2], [5], [8], [12], [18], [20]. Very little of this workexamines faculty retention directly. Of those that do, samples are often constructed from collegecatalogues and online resources [1], [10]. Our study differs from previous research by examiningactual faculty departures and retention cases with the use of a comprehensive data set providedby UX’s Office of Institutional Research. In contrast to catalog data and online resources,institutional data sets are more reliable and allow for removal of retired faculty. In the first stage of our quantitative analysis, we examined faculty
