Higher Education Faculty Salary Resources
The Latest Faculty Salary Update (PDF)
The NEA Higher Education Advocate provides annual salary data for faculty, compares the effects of unionization and tenure, and examines salary trends for non-teaching professionals.
Trends in public support and public sector faculty salaries were examined over a 10-year period. While faculty purchasing power was higher at the end of the 10-year period, there was a 2 percent decrease in salaries between 2001–02 and 2004–05; this coincided with a 5 to 10 percent decrease during the same period in the amount of state tax support for higher education.
