K-State Faculty Salary Data Analysis by College, Department, and Discipline (with K-State's IPEDS Comparison Institutions) - October 2012
Competitive compensation is key to recruiting and retaining the talented and high performing, diverse workforce envisioned in K-State 2025. The Visionary Plan calls for competitive compensation for all employees within the next ten years. Therefore, a focus on developing a long-range compensation improvement plan with specific targeted goals and strategies over a number of years is imperative.
During the summer 2012, the President and Provost requested additional faculty salary analysis data for further evaluating K-State's competitive compensation in comparison to our peer institutions. Their request included faculty salary by rank compared to our peers, which was completed and provided to Faculty Senate and shared during the college and major unit visits this fall. In addition, they requested faculty salary data by rank, college, department, and discipline, which are provided in this report.
The data tables in this report present faculty salary data by rank and discipline for K-State and our 10 Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) comparison institutions, which include the seven K-State 2025 benchmark institutions. The institutions are:
- Auburn University
- Clemson University
- Colorado State University
- Iowa State University
- Louisiana State University
- North Carolina State University
- Oklahoma State University
- Oregon State University
- University of Massachusetts – Amherst
- Washington State University
