EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND KEY FINDINGS

INTRODUCTION

The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) has requested a benchmark analysis of faculty salaries across disciplines and peer institutions. To provide a thorough assessment of faculty salaries, Hanover Research (Hanover) compiled and analyzed data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), and the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR). Together these datasets provide detailed salary information by institution, institution type, academic rank, instructional discipline, and occupation (for non-instructional staff), allowing for a rigorous assessment of the competitiveness of faculty salaries at UMES. This report is divided into two sub-sections:

Faculty Salaries by Discipline provides an assessment of faculty salaries by instructional discipline across the United States, Mid-Atlantic Region, and Maryland. Data for this section comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources.

Faculty and Non-Instructional Staff Salaries by Institution analyzes the salaries of faculty and non-instructional staff at a set of 33 peer institutions. Data from this section comes from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.

In addition, this report is accompanied by an Excel data supplement containing the complete dataset from each source used in this analysis.

KEY FINDINGS

PEER ANALYSIS

Faculty salaries at UMES are above the peer median across all academic ranks, including professors, lecturers, and instructors. As a group, professors, associate professors, assistant professors, and lecturers at UMES earn more than their academic counterparts at 28 of the 33 peer institutions analyzed. In 2015, the average faculty salary at UMES was $86,017, which is $10,646 higher than the median salary across peer institutions ($75,371).

o However, this gap is smallest at the most senior levels. For example, UMES ranks only slightly above the peer median when considering full professor salaries, and of the 33 benchmarked institutions, approximately 40 percent pay their professors and associate professors higher average salaries than UMES. Alternatively, assistant professors at UMES earn higher average salaries than at most of the peer institutions analyzed.



UMES also performs well in terms of female faculty wages. Female faculty at UMES earn 1.5 percent more than their male colleagues. Only three of the 33 peer institutions analyzed reported higher female to male salary ratios than UMES.

In contrast to faculty, non-instructional staff earn slightly less at UMES compared to peer institutions. The largest pay discrepancies for non-instructional staff are among librarians and related staff, who make 19 percent less at UMES than the median among peer institutions; followed closely by management and computer engineering and science staff, who earn 15 percent less.

ANALYSIS BY ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE

Faculty salaries range considerably by academic discipline. Business faculty have the highest wages across academic disciplines in Maryland, out-earning education faculty – who have the lowest wages – by $28,850 per year, on average. Other high-paid disciplines in Maryland include: Anthropology and Archeology; Engineering; Sociology; and Computer Science.

There is a high level of variability in earnings not only across, but within academic disciplines. Across all academic disciplines in Maryland, professors earn an average $20,855 more than associate professors and $31,475 more than assistant professors. Nationwide, these differences are most pronounced in fields such as business, law/legal studies, and engineering.

In 17 academic disciplines, new professors are out-earning their colleagues of the same rank. The fields where wages are increasing the fastest are business, management and marketing; natural resources and conservation, and computer and information sciences. For instance, new assistant professors in business, management, and marketing earned approximately $8,000 more than their established counterparts in the same discipline and position.



SALARY BENCHMARK ANALYSIS

In this analysis, Hanover provides an assessment of faculty and administrative staff salaries across instructional disciplines and higher education institutions similar to UMES. To conduct this study, salary data were drawn from IPEDS, the BLS, and the CUPA-HR. These datasets each provide various segments that together create a piecewise assessment of the overall landscape of faculty salaries in the United States. A detailed description of each source can be found in the Methodology Appendix at the end of this report. The Excel data supplement, which accompanies this report, provides the complete dataset from each source used in this analysis. First, it is important to note that postsecondary teachers, across all disciplines, institutions, and academic ranks have higher salaries in Maryland than the median across the Mid-Atlantic Region or nationally (Figure 1.1).1 Though this does suggest that UMES faculty are likely earning more, compared to their counterparts in other states, the competitiveness of salaries at local peer institutions may also be higher. To provide a more complete analysis, the following sections provide a breakdown of faculty salaries by discipline and institution.

FACULTY SALARIES BY DISCIPLINE

This section of the analysis provides an assessment of variations in postsecondary teacher salaries across 17 different academic disciplines (see Figure 1.2). The disciplines shown in Figure 1.2 are categorized by the BLS and roughly align with the current academic offerings at UMES. The average annual salary (as of May 2016) across all aligned disciplines is $76,818. The disciplines where faculty have the highest median salaries are business, anthropology and archaeology, and engineering; the disciplines with the lowest median salaries are criminal justice, social work, and education. Notably, the salary range for postsecondary teachers across different academic disciplines can be fairly significant. For instance, the difference between the highest paid discipline (business) and the lowest (education) is $28,850. Beyond the differences between fields, there are also significant wage ranges within each academic discipline, as measured by the interquartile range. This metric describes the wage difference between the 75th and 25th percentile of faculty salaries in a given discipline. Therefore, a larger interquartile range equates to greater variation in earnings between the highest and lowest paid faculty within an academic field. For example, though the median wage across anthropology and archeology postsecondary teachers in Maryland is one of the highest, the average interquartile range for anthropology and archeology postsecondary teachers is $79,310, showing considerable salary variability within this discipline. As shown in Figure 1.3, the average interquartile range across all academic fields in Maryland is $46,619. This suggests a high level of variability in earnings not only across, but within academic fields.

Data from the CUPA-HR 2015-2016 Faculty in Higher Education Salary Survey breaks down the average salaries of faculty by broader instructional disciplines than those used by the BLS. However, because this survey provides differentiation of salary by academic rank, it serves as a useful supplement to the BLS data. Reviewing faculty salary by instructional discipline and by faculty rank provides a more complete picture of the driving factors behind the large salary ranges within academic disciplines. For example, even across the highest paid disciplines there is a considerable variation in salary, where professors in legal professions and studies out-earn professors in architecture and related services by 34.1 percent, or $37,079 (Figure 1.4). At the same time, there is also a considerable difference in wages among professors, associate professors, and assistant professors. Across all academic disciplines, professors earn an average $20,855 more than associate professors and $31,475 more than assistant professors.

As shown in Figure 1.4, faculty salaries across the highest paid disciplines vary most for new assistant professors. For instance, new assistant business, management, and marketing professors earn $113,924 on average. However, new assistant architecture professors earn only $68,848, a $45,076 gap. Figure 1.4 shows that at each academic rank, legal and business faculty generally earn more than their counterparts in other disciplines, even as less experienced professors.

At the other end of the spectrum, faculty salaries are more consistent across professors in the five lowest paying disciplines (Figure 1.5). The wage variability among lower faculty ranks is lower as well, with high-low differences for associate professors ($6,730) and assistant professors ($4,447) considerably less than the ranges observed for higher paid disciplines.

Similar to the interquartile range, assessing the difference between the highest and the lowest paid faculty within a discipline provides a gauge of how variable each discipline is by faculty rank. Across all disciplines, the average difference between the salaries of the highest faculty rank and the lowest is $42,596 (Figure 1.6). The most variable discipline by faculty rank is engineering, where professors out-earn new assistant professors by an average of $62,513. The least variable discipline is theology and religious vocations, where professors out-earned assistant professors by $23,248.

Figure 1.6: Sample of Disciplines by Difference of High and Low Faculty Salary

Source: CUPA-HR

Unlike engineering, assistant professors in theology have lower average salaries than new assistant professors; which likely indicates increasing wages in the discipline. Hanover identified 17 similar disciplines, where new assistant professors have higher average salaries than assistant professors, shown below in Figure 1.7.

Another factor that likely impacts faculty salaries is institutional funding, though the direction of the impact varies by discipline. Across all disciplines, faculty teaching at public universities receive salaries that are 1.1 percent higher than the average across all institution types. The disciplines with the largest salary difference between public institutions and all higher education institutions (both public and private) are shown in Figure 1.8 below.

Conversely, within some disciplines, faculty at public institutions earn less than their counterparts at private institutions (Figure 1.9). The wage difference is highest among foreign languages, literature, and linguistics faculty, where faculty at public institutions earn $1,814 (2.8 percent) less than the average across all institutions (both public and private).

FACULTY AND NON-INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF SALARIES BY INSTITUTION

This section of the analysis provides an assessment of variations in faculty and non-instructional staff salaries by institution. All data in this section are drawn from IPEDS and are for the 2014-2015 academic year. To gauge the relative competitiveness of salaries at UMES, Hanover has constructed a benchmark analysis of 33 ‘peer’ institutions with similar geographic locations and student enrolments to UMES. A full methodology for how these institutions were selected for analysis is provided in the Appendix.

FACULTY SALARIES BY INSTITUTION

The average faculty salary among peer institutions is $75,371. Faculty salaries at UMES (as reported to IPEDS) are among the highest in this group, at an average of $86,017.2 Of the 33 institutions benchmarked for this analysis, UMES ranked as having the sixth highest average faculty salary – the top 10 institutions are shown in Figure 1.10. The US Naval Academy and the University of Richmond have the highest faculty salaries across the 33 institutions analyzed.

An overview of the distribution of the high, median, and low salaries across faculty rank can be found in Figure 1.12 on the following page. Though salaries vary considerably across academic rank, it is most important to note that UMES salaries are above the median for all academic ranks of instructional faculty (Figure 1.11).

The median salary for professors is $98,122 among peer institutions. As was observed in the previous section, academic rank has a large impact on wages. Among the peer institutions analyzed, assistant professors earn 19.7 percent less, assistant professors earn 29.7 percent less, and lecturers earn 45.5 percent less than the average salary of full professors (Figure 1.12).

High UMES Median Low



Though UMES is above average compared to peer institutions when aggregating salaries across faculty ranks, it is much closer to the peer median in its salaries for full professors (Figure 1.13). Of the 33 benchmarked institutions, approximately 40 percent have higher average salaries for their professors. Forty and 25 percent of benchmarked institutions also report higher average salaries than UMES for associate and assistant professors, respectively.

Figure 1.13: Professor Salary Distribution across Peers

Source: IPEDS

One of the key factors that drives higher aggregate salaries at UMES is a smaller than average salary gap between professors and assistant professors. The median salary gap between professors and assistant professors is $33,448 across the peer institutions analyzed, while the salary gap at UMES is $26,401. The largest gap was observed at the US Naval Academy, where professors on average out-earned assistant professors by $84,694, while Coppin State University had the lowest gap of $17,209 (Figure 1.14).

NON-INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF SALARIES BY INSTITUTION

Salaries for non-instructional staff at UMES, however, are below the median among peers, with 21 of the 33 institutions analyzed averaging higher pay for these workers. With an average salary of $51,708, UMES is just 5.5 percent below the median, but due to a high concentration of peers around the $54,000-$55,000 range, UMES ranks relatively low comparatively.

Figure 1.16: Aggregate Non-Instructional Staff Salaries across Peers

Source: IPEDS

Decomposing non-instructional staff salaries by occupation, as is shown in Figure 1.17, demonstrates that some workers at UMES earn above median salaries. UMES workers in business and financial operations, healthcare practitioners and technical position, and office administrative support, for example, earn more than most of their colleagues at peer institutions. Meanwhile, the largest pay discrepancies for non-instructional staff are among librarians and related staff, who make 19 percent less than the median among peer institutions; followed closely by management and computer engineering and science staff, who earn 15 percent less.

APPENDIX: METHODOLOGY

U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

Faculty salary data organized by discipline were sourced from the most recent available Occupational Employment Statistics, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistic (BLS) in May 2016.3 Each occupation is classified by the BLS’s Standard Occupation Code (SOC) system, which includes 38 distinct occupational codes for postsecondary teachers, organized by instructional discipline. By the BLS’s definition, postsecondary teachers include all instructors “beyond the postsecondary level.” These include both full-time professors as well as part-time professors, or adjuncts.4 Figure A.1 below lists the 17 SOC codes that overlap with UMES’s current academic offerings.

metropolitan/nonmetropolitan area.6 For the purposes of this analysis, Hanover includes wage data for Maryland, the Mid-Atlantic Region, and the United States as a whole.

CUPA-HR

The College and University Professional Association for Human Resources’ (CUPA-HR) annual Professionals in Higher Education Salary Survey, similarly uses the National Center for Education Statistics’ academic CIP indexing system to classify the average salaries for tenured and tenure-track faculty by field and academic rank.7 This report uses data from the most recent 2015- 2016 edition, which aggregates faculty salary data from 1,079 different higher education institutions within the United States.8 The data supplement contains unweighted average salary data for Professors, Assistant Professors, Associate Professors, and Instructors across all institutions reporting as well as disaggregated by public institutions.

IPEDS

To compare UMES’ faculty salaries to those of institutional peers and competitors, Hanover drew salary data from the NCES’ Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) Data Center.9 IPEDS is a national self-reporting system of interrelated surveys conducted annually by the NCES. Specifically, IPEDS surveys “every college, university, and technical and vocational institution that participates in the federal student financial aid programs” on a variety of factors ranging from degree completions to staff salaries. 10 However, it is important to note that higher education institutions classify their data independently, meaning that two institutions could share identical human resources data and hypothetically report it differently. This report uses IPEDS’ “final release” salary data from the 2014-2015 academic year. The data for this analysis was drawn for a range of institutions that Hanover selected as peers of UMES, using the variables shown in figure A.2. All of the institutions selected for analysis are located in regional proximity to UMES (in either MD, PA, DC, DE, or VA) and have enrolments of between 3,000 and 6,000 students.
