2013 AAUP Faculty Salary Survey
How much 1,142 colleges paid their faculty members.
About the Data
Salary data are collected annually by the American Association of University Professors. Participation in the AAUP survey is optional; 1,142 institutions submitted data for the 2012-13 academic year. Salaries are rounded to the nearest hundred. Where faculty contracts are 11 or 12 months long, salaries are adjusted for a nine-month work year. The figures reflect the earnings of full-time instructional and research staff whose main role (more than 50%) is instruction, regardless of whether or not they have official faculty status.
The AAUP classifies institutions as doctoral, master’s, baccalaureate, associate (with ranks) and associate (without ranks). In this interactive feature, associate institutions are labeled as “two-year” and those with and without academic ranks are grouped separately.
Included / left out percentages are calculated by The Chronicle based on 2011-12 academic-year data from the U.S. Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. “Included” represents the percentage of faculty whose primary function is instruction or instruction/research/community service and who are employed full time, excluding medical-school faculty. “Left out” is the percentage of faculty members in those categories who are employed part time. Graduate students are not included in either category. These percentages are estimates of faculty members at each institution whose salaries are included in the AAUP data; they do not reflect the actual number of faculty reported by AAUP.
Figures in the year-over-year graph are not inflation-adjusted.
