Faculty Salary Information on the Internet
The U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is one of the basic sources for faculty salaries, along with other higher education data. These data are the basis for the NEA salary reports. Both the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF) can be accessed through this Web site:

The American Association of University Professors (AAUP)’s Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession is a good companion report on faculty salaries. AAUP collects their own data and analyzes them differently than NEA, providing a slightly different view of faculty salaries. A summary with selected tables is available on their Web site at no cost, and a complete print copy is available for $68.
