No Increases for Mid-Level Pay

Inside Higher Ed: No Increases for Mid-Level Pay

The median raise for mid-level administrators — across job categories — was no raise at all in 2009-10, according to an analysis being released today by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources.

This is the first time in the 12 years that CUPA-HR has been conducting the survey that there was no increase. However, the results are not surprising, given that recent reports by the association have found no median increases in salaries for either senior administrators or faculty members.

AFT Releases National Survey of Part-time & Adjunct Faculty

AFT Releases National Survey of Part-time & Adjunct Faculty

The latest report from AFT Higher Education, American Academic: A National Survey of Part-time/Adjunct Faculty, has just been released. Conducted by Peter Hart Research Associates, this national survey of part-time/ adjunct faculty examines:

  • who part-time/adjunct faculty are;
  • the conditions under which they work; and,
  • how they view their work and the challenges they face on campus.

The survey demonstrates that part-time/adjunct faculty are a diverse group. And, while they are committed to their teaching and eager to serve students, most express concerns about working conditions.

“What is happening in our colleges and universities today is directly linked to our country’s economic future” stated AFT President Randi Weingarten. “Adjunct and part-time faculty play such a critical role in educating our college students and we must work to ensure that they are fully supported.”
The survey is a national sample of 500 part-time and adjunct faculty employed in two- and four-year public and private nonprofit higher education institutions.
