Where do SREB States Stand?

| Where do faculty salaries in the SREB states stand? This report, part of
the Education Benchmarks 2000 Series, answers this question. In short,
faculty salaries have not grown at rates as high as those of other workers
with advanced levels of education over the past 10 years have. Nor have
average faculty salaries grown at rates as high as those have for all
workers, regardless of level of education over the past 25 years. And,
perhaps most telling, the gap between the SREB region's and the nation's
average salaries for faculty in public four-year and two-year colleges has
grown over the past 10 years. The challenge, says SREB president Mark
Musick, is to move the SREB region's faculty salary gains more in line
with the gains made by other occupations and more in line with the gains
for faculty outside the SREB region. |
