Faculty Salary Plan

The purpose of the faculty salary plan is to offer competitive salaries to full-time faculty as well as to reward attaining advanced degrees and to reward years of service.

The main factors in the salary plan are education and experience. The columns are determined by education levels. The rows are determined by years of experience in higher education or equivalent public education or field related technical work experience.

Placement in the faculty salary plan is determined based on the teaching experience using the following:

• College/University teaching experience is equated on a 1-to-1 ratio.
• Public school teaching experience is equated on a 2-to-1 ratio. Two years of public-school teaching experience is equal to one year of college teaching experience.
• International teaching experience is equated on a 2-to-1 ratio. Two years of international school teaching experience is equal to one year of college teaching experience.
• Adjunct (part-time) teaching experience is equated on a 2-to-1 ratio.

Upon employment, faculty are placed on the faculty salary plan based on educational degrees and hours earned from regionally accredited institutions of higher education and years of teaching experience.
