How well does your institution pay faculty?
Conducted annually by the American Association of University Professors, the Faculty Compensation Survey (FCS) is the largest independent source of data for both full-time and part-time faculty salaries and benefits.

Profession
The FCS collects data on more than 375,000 faculty members from over 1,100 institutions. All 50 states and Puerto Rico are represented.
Data for Strategic Hiring
In today’s challenging higher education environment, strategic hiring and support for faculty can improve quality and enhance an institution's distinctiveness and competitiveness.
For Faculty
Full-time faculty compensation data are available by gender and rank (Full Professor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Instructor, and Lecturer). Information on fringe benefits is also available, including retirement, health insurance, and dependent tuition benefits. This study provides independently validated data for salary negotiations, collective bargaining, and setting salaries for new positions.
For Senior Leadership
Provide credible answers to trustees, state boards, legislators, and funders to promote transparency, demonstrate efficiency, and establish benchmarks. The 2015-16 report was the first to include data on part-time faculty.
The Faculty Compensation Survey provides outstanding data on faculty compensation that is used extensively by institutions' administrators, hiring committees, and faculty. Having salary and benefit comparison data helps establish a climate of trust and transparency throughout higher education. Important research work on gender equity also becomes available through the FCS.
