University Professors Take Hit in Recession
The American Association of University Professors www.aaup.org latest report on the economic status of university professors reports that “[t]he average salary for a full-time faculty member was only 1.2 percent higher in 2009–10 than in the previous academic year, the lowest year-to-year change recorded in the fifty years of this comprehensive annual survey.” The report notes that this is less than half the rate of inflation and also notes the many institutions that have instituted salary freezes. The report can be found at http://www.aaup.org/AAUP/comm/rep/Z/ecstatreport09-10/default.htm.
