Faculty Salary Survey Subcommittee (Ferhan Atici, Kacy Harris, and Eric Reed) of the Faculty Welfare and Professional Responsibilities Committee

         The Faculty Salary Survey Subcommittee was formed in September 2004 and charged with (a) checking for and correcting anomalies in the annual faculty salary survey; and (b) publishing the annual faculty salary survey on the University Senate web site. 

         In early November, the Subcommittee reviewed all faculty salaries to determine if they fell within statistical averages.  Salary increases during the 2004-2005 year for continuing faculty ranged from 0% to 6%, and the average salary increase was 3.28%.  (Note:  The annual rate of increase of the Consumer Price Index, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was 3.3% in December 2004.) 

         The Subcommittee met with Mike Dale in early December to discuss the salary survey.    We found several typographic and statistical errors in the report that Mike Dale corrected after the meeting.  He arranged technical assistance for the Subcommittee as we prepared the final version of the report for publication on the University Senate web site. 

 The Subcommittee is grateful for the assistance of Mike Dale and academic computing in compiling these data files. These files have gone through several revisions, however some errors might still be possible.
