<p>The Chronicle of Higher Education came out with a list of 97 campuses based on a survey. I am not sure if I can supply a link, but you can view the results at this time at no cost.</p>
<p>Very interesting. Not a surprise that H’s is not on the list, lol! H and I did a drive by tour of several colleges on our way home from Gettysburg last week and some were on the list including Gettysburg, Shippensburg and York. </p>
<p>I wanted to read the methodology, but couldn’t access it without paying. Oh, well.</p>
<p>kitty, if you read through all of the comments, there might be some information that answers some of your questions.</p>
<p>^^nem: can you copy and paste the list or no go??</p>
<p>I was just looking at the list. I was only able to really see categories, honor roll, and one can click onto a college and see how many FT professors, part time professors, administrators and average salaries. I will also send a PM to you, rodney.</p>
<p>The free link said 257 colleges participated in their survey. I was pleased to see that D’s college made the Honor Roll of 40 colleges.</p>
<p>Yes, you can see the list of the schools that made the on honor roll of this survey.</p>
<p>Am I right in thinking that State U’s who have had furloughs in the past year or two (or three) did not make the list?</p>
<p>Heck, we WANTED a few furlough days around here! I don’t think that ought to count against a school (though of course it should affect the mean salary).</p>
<p>You wanted a pay cut?</p>
<p>Birmingham Southern is on the list, but this summer, the school discovered that for years it was erroneously awarding extra financial aid. The school found itself with a huge shortfall and needed to cut about 20% of the budget. The school recently laid off about 51 people, and for those remaning, there will be salary cuts totaling about 10%. In addition, for staff, not faculty, there will be two unpaid furlough weeks. There are other cost-cutting measures as well.</p>
<p>Obviously, the survery and results were done before the school discovered its error.</p>
<p>Here’s a link to the article on the UDel website (UDel was selected too); it has the methodology.</p>
<p>[UD</a> named a ‘2010 Great College to Work For’](<a href=“http://www.udel.edu/udaily/2011/jul/great072610.html]UD”>UD named a '2010 Great College to Work For')</p>
<p>Let me just point out how very skewed the data is for pay. I can assure you that the “average” salary is NOT the average salary of many, many of those who work for the typical state school on the list. An entire class of employees is left off. The average prof’s pay is there (skewed quite a bit if it’s a school with law & med, by the way), and the average administrative salary is there. But there are many, many employees in a state U who are neither profs nor administrators … and these employees are absolutely not included in any published averages.</p>
