Sociology Faculty Salaries 2005/2006
Sociology faculty, regardless of rank, enjoyed across-the-board salary increases in current dollars during academic year 2005/06. Newly released figures from CUPA-HR’s annual faculty survey shows that salaries for full professors jumped by nearly $3,000, or 3.7%, compared to academic year 2004/2005. This increase exceeded the rate of increase for all full professors in all disciplines. Similarly, salaries for associate and assistant professors grew by more than three percent from academic year 2004/05. Salaries for new assistant professors and instructors, however, were essentially flat. Their salaries increased by less than one percent, failing to keep pace with CPI inflation index. Salaries for sociology faculty at private institutions outpaced their colleagues at public institutions (see accompanying figure), with a largest differences in the full professor rank.
The Research and Development Department will analyze these results in greater detail in our annual salary brief later in the spring.
