[Grammar] faculty/faculties

[Mr.Lucky_One]

[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]"Twenty-four faculty from various departments of the three universities - plus graduate students and postdocs - are doing research both at the NETL main facility in Pittsburgh’s South Hills and on campus"

Does it make any sense? Or maybe it's just a misprint.

I wouldn't use "faculty" like this. I would say "faculty members."

 

[Mr.Lucky_One]

Have I got you right that "faculty"="faculty members" in this sentence?

Have I got you right that "faculty"="faculty members" in this sentence?

Yes, that's right.

 

[Mr.Lucky_One]

When "faculty" is used this way, is it always plural?

When "faculty" is used this way, is it always plural?

"Faculty members" is plural because "members" is plural. However, they are "members" (plural) of "a/the faculty" (singular).
