Inside Higher Ed: Mid-Level Administrators’ Salaries Up 3.9%
The median salary for mid-level administrators increased 3.9 percent in 2007-8, according to a report released today by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources.
The increase is up from last year’s 3.8 percent gain, and a 3.3 percent hike the year before that.
Increases this year were larger in public higher education than in private higher education (4.0 percent to 3.7 percent). The median increases were largest for jobs in business and administrative affairs, human resources, athletics and external affairs. The smallest median increases were in academic affairs and student affairs.
(CUPA-HR released an analysis of salary trends for senior administrators, whose median salaries increased by 4.0 percent, last month.)
Among positions in the study, the highest salary was for staff physician ($122,648), followed by veterinarian, pharmacist and labor unit supervisor. The lowest salary was for security guard ($26,355), followed by residence hall manager, child care center teacher and entry level computer operator.
