Chair Team,
I need your help. It appears our new provost is proposing to use CUPA data as a comparison for equity and compression issues. He evidently wants to address this huge issue on our campus and I am in particular curious to see what occurs, because though we are the most productive in our college in terms of research, grant funding as well as excellent in teaching and service, we are at the bottom of the salary levels in our college.
My dean has asked if by discipline if we know of other data bases, and in particular for me in this case, kinesiology, out there to recommend to help us make our case. Also, any other information with comparison schools could be helpful as it relates to salaries by rank and possibly years of service. Just so you know, Texas A&M Corpus Christi is a regional, state university and not quite a minority majority institution, but almost 50/50, and we have almost 11,000 students.
Any insight is MUCHO appreciated even if it is as simple as what we typically have at TAMUCC:
Full Professor – Upper $60’s to $70’s (all of which depends on years of service, but we don’t have only one over 15 years)
Associate – Low to middle $60’s
Assistant – Low 50’s to low $60’s depending upon years of service and how productive the professor was prior to coming to TAMUCC.
Thank you for anything you could help me with.

The American Kinesiology Association (AKA) is CURRENTLY conducting a nationwide survey of Kinesiology salaries.
The AKA previously conducted a similar one about 3 years ago.
The data have been collected and analysis is being conducted at this time.
I suggest you contact Amelia Lee (am...@lsu.edu) at LSU (AKA Executive Director) for more information.
Randy and colleagues,
Our university uses CUPA data to plan for salary offers to new faculty. I have 2011-2012 from our Provost reproduced below. They pulled a comparison group (249 institutions) of public, masters, doctoral institutions. I have no way of knowing which they chose for comparison, other than they are from the 31.05 CIP code (Health & Physical Education/Fitness). Wish we all could receive maximum wage.
Rank Mean Median Max
Prof 82,272 78,298 167,272
Assoc 65,970 64,687 109,232
Assist 54,778 54,085 94,507
New Assist 54,287 54,500 80,000
Inst 43,638 42,272 82,620
The AAUP/Chronicle and NEA data are pretty close to these mean/medians. I also have the CCAS new hires survey data for 2012. New assistant professors in Arts and Sciences colleges across the country in master’s institutions typically had salaries in the mid-50s, doctoral institutions were in the mid-50s to high-60’s. What collage the department resides, how funding (CIP and grants) is distributed, and competition for candidates will have a significant effect on salary offers and compression/inversion issues.
