Faculty Salary Peer Comparisons for UW-Madison Departments
Based on the Association of American Universities Data Exchange (AAUDE)
Survey of 2007-08 Average Faculty Salaries by Department and By Professorial Rank
Includes information on average age of faculty, and salaries of newly hired faculty. Salaries for 12-month appointments are included, but have been converted to 9-month rates. Departments are matched across universities using the federal Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP).
Some of the CIP codes assigned by peer universities to their departments have been changed by UW-Madison for purposes of this report. The purpose of these changes is to increase the size of the peer comparison groups for some UW departments, where possible . A list of the changes, and the UW departments affected, can be found here.
