Rationale:
This indicator looks at the ratio of faculty staff with PhD to the overall faculty staff count. If an institution is scoring well in this indicator, we may reasonably assume that they are seeking to hire high quality research staff, and that research is a strong focus of their overall strategy.
Calculation:
A simple proportion of each institution's faculty staff submission that hold a PhD or equivalent terminal degree.
