Faculty Pay: Up and Uneven - Scott Jaschik, Inside Higher Ed

Median base salaries of full-time faculty members at four-year colleges and universities increased by 2 percent in 2014, down from 2.1 percent the year before, according to a report being released today by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources. The survey found slightly larger gains for those at public institutions (2.1 percent) than at private institutions (2.0 percent). With the Consumer Price Index at 1.6 percent for the year, that means real spending power increases (but small ones) for full-time faculty members at four-year colleges.
