9-Month Faculty Salary Trend


Note: This analysis does not include positions that changed during the four years from FY03 to FY06. Positions that were new, vacant, or had personnel changes during that period were eliminated. Changes in status from 9-month to 10-month or from full-time to part-time were also eliminated. Salary enhancements for change in rank are reflected in some of the salary increases. This data was accumulated from the university's published budgets. This information is provided to illustrate the big picture. Any errors or oversights in this data are unintentional.
