Toward Establishing Salary Benchmarks for College and University Administrators.
Summerville, Richard M.; Ridley, Dennis R.
To determine where given Virginia institutions of higher education stand in the aggregate regarding administrators' salaries among similar institutions, salary information provided by chief academic officers of eight senior public-supported institutions in Virginia for their administrative faculty was compared with data from other United States colleges and universities designated as "peers." Using conventions already being applied in Virginia to instructional faculty salaries, a methodology was developed which resulted in an easily analyzed and interpreted set of data to determine equity on the institution-wide level. The formula determines whether the aggregate appropriation for the Virginia institutions' positions is sufficient to support each of the positions at a given percentile of the salary amounts for corresponding positions at peer group institutions. Interpretation of the data found that appropriation amounts placed Virginia administrators between the 38th and 75th percentiles of corresponding positions at peer institutions. Includes one reference. (JDD)
