Budget Analysis
NEA can assist chapters to analyze their campus budgets by using information that the campuses provide to the federal government.
College and University Data Analysis System (CUDAS)
CUDAS allows higher-ed members to analyze current data from their institutions, including such indicators as faculty salary, numbers of staff, student tuition, institutional finances, enrollment and degrees awarded, and create comparative reports with peer institutions. Data is provided by the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, and Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.

Student enrollment trends, faculty and staff employment as well as statistics about campuses with collective bargaining can be found in this section.
Faculty Salaries

HECAS contains more than 1,000 higher education collective bargaining contracts. The system, updated twice a year, has contracts for faculty, support staff, and academic professionals.
