The Chronicle: Pay Raises for Midlevel Workers Trail Those for Top-Level Administrators

Pay for midlevel administrative workers increased 3.5 percent this year, according to an annual report to be released this week by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources.

For the past two years, median raises for midlevel employees had outpaced inflation. In 2008, however, inflation jumped 3.8 percent, eating up the gains.

Top-level administrators fared slightly better, with median salary increases of 4 percent (The Chronicle, February 27).
