Faculty Salaries, Tenure and Benefits, 1979-80

摘要

The report is based on data collected in the survey of salaries, tenure and fringe benefits of full-time instructional faculty, a component of the Higher Education General Information Survey. Conducted for the academic year 1979-80, the survey collected data on salaries, tenure and fringe benefits of full-time instructional faculty by sex, academic rank, length of contract, and level and control of institutional unit. Faculty covered were employed as of October 1 of the survey year. They were limited to members of the instruction/research staff employed on a full-time basis whose regular assignment was instruction, including those with released time for research. Excluded were pre-clinical and clinical faculty, faculty who contribute their services, faculty on other than 9- and 12-month contracts, and faculty on leave without pay. Excluded also are administrative officers such as Dean of Faculty, etc., even though they devote part of their time to classroom instruction. Undergraduate and graduate students who assist in instruction and have titles such as teaching assistant or teaching associate are also excluded. Includes tables comparing data from previous years.
