Professors' Pay Rises 1.2%, Lowest Increase in 50 Years
"No Refuge," the title of the American Association of University Professors' latest annual report on faculty salaries, gives a nod to the economic realities from which higher education has been unable to escape. Among them: A paycheck that barely grew from the year before.In 2009-10, the average salary of a full-time faculty member rose only 1.2 percent. That's the lowest year-to-year increase recorded by the association in the 50-year history of its salary survey. Audrey Williams June, The Chronicle of Higher Education, April 13, 2010
