Among the peer institutions, Ohio University ranks 9 th for professors ($6,600 below next highest rank), 6 th for associate professors ($2,600 below next highest rank), 6 th for assistant professors ($400 below next highest rank), and 7 th for all ranks combined ($400 below next highest rank). Compared to public universities in Ohio, Ohio University s average salaries ranked 7 th for professors ($1,000 below next highest rank), 7 th for associate professors ($1,100 below next highest rank), 5 th for assistant professors ($1,000 below next highest rank), and 2 nd for all ranks combined ($25,000 below next highest rank). Ohio University s average faculty compensation ranked 6 th for professors ($1,200 below next highest rank), 5 th for associate professors ($1,000 below next highest rank), 3 rd for assistant professors ($10,200 below next highest rank), and 2 nd for all ranks combined ($24,500 below the next highest rank). From 2013-14 to 2014-15, Ohio University s overall average continuing faculty salary increase was 5.0%. In most of the last seven years, Ohio University s average salary increases were higher than the state-wide average. Compared to public universities in Ohio, Ohio University s average faculty salary increase ranked 3 rd for full professors, 2 nd for associate professors, and 2 nd for assistant professors. Among the peer institutions, Ohio University ranked 3 rd for full professors, 3 rd for associate professors, and 3 rd for assistant professors. In 2014-15, Ohio University s fringe benefits as a percent of average salary was 33.9%. Ohio University ranks 5 th among Ohio public universities and 5 th among the peer institutions in the percent benefits of salary. Ohio University s average faculty salary by rank and discipline is higher in many instances compared to averages for Ohio public institutions and averages for research universities high research activity. 94% of Ohio University s Group I tenure-track faculty continued from 2013-14 to 2014-15. Fifty-eight new Group I faculty were hired in 2014-15, while 40 Group I faculty from 2013-14 left the university or changed their status (retired, resigned, moved to administration). This faculty retention rate is similar to that of previous years. Office of Institutional Research
2014-15 Ohio University Faculty Salary & Compensation Study Ohio University s Office of Institutional Research participates in the annual American Association of University s (AAUP) National Faculty Salary Study. Academic-year base compensation of full-time Group I faculty, including chairs and directors, are reported for each of Ohio University s campuses. Academic administrators other than chairs and directors, professional school faculty (Osteopathic Medicine), and part-time faculty are excluded, according to AAUP salary study guidelines. Ohio University s early retired faculty are part-time and are not included. The purpose of this report is to describe how faculty compensation at Ohio University compares to different groups of universities and to help explain some of the variables that influence those compensations. National Peer Comparisons of Average Salaries and Compensation Table 1 and Figure 1 show Ohio University average faculty salaries compared with the average faculty salaries of the university s ten peer institutions. Salaries are rounded to the nearest hundred as reported in Academe and The Chronicle of Higher Education. Ohio University ranks ninth for full professors, up from tenth in 2013-14 ($2,800 below the next highest rank), seventh for associate professors, up from eighth in 2013-14 ($2,900 below the next highest rank), ninth for assistant professors, down from eighth in 2013-14 ($1,600 below the next highest rank), and sixth for all ranks, up from seventh in 2013-14 ($2,100 below the next highest rank). Table 2 and Figure 2 show Ohio University average faculty compensation compared with the average faculty compensation of the university s peer institutions. Compensation is rounded to the nearest hundred as reported in Academe and The Chronicle of Higher Education. Ohio University ranks ninth for full professors, up Office of Institutional Research
from tenth in 2013-14 ($6,600 below the next highest rank), sixth for associate professors, up from seventh in 2013-14 ($2,600 below the next highest rank), sixth for assistant professors ($400 below the next highest rank), and seventh for all ranks ($400 below the next highest rank). Table 3 shows headcounts of Ohio University s faculty and the ten peer institutions, as reported to AAUP. Some of the peers include non-tenure-track fulltime faculty. Aggregated Average Salary and Compensation Comparisons in Ohio Each year, Ohio University participates in comparative faculty salary studies, comparing its full-time Group I faculty with full-time faculty at other universities. AAUP collects aggregated faculty salary and benefits data for current and continuing (from the previous year) faculty; salaries are broken down by rank. Each year Wright State University collects and compiles these data from public universities in Ohio. Table 4 and Figure 3 show Ohio University average faculty salaries compared with the average faculty salaries for public universities in Ohio. Table 4 consists of four pages and shows the average faculty salary, broken down by faculty rank and institution for the public universities in Ohio over the last seven years. Central State University does not participate in the state-wide study and is not included. The ordinal ranking of each university is given for each year. In 2014-15, Ohio University is ranked seventh for professors (up from eighth in 2013-14); seventh for associate professors (same as in 2013-14); fifth for assistant professors (up from seventh in 2013-14); and second for all ranks combined (same as in 2013-14). In 2014-15, Ohio University s average faculty salary is $1,000 below the next highest rank for professors, $1,100 below the next highest rank for Office of Institutional Research
associate professors, $1,000 below the next highest rank for assistant professors, and $25,000 below the next highest rank for all ranks combined. The numbers of faculty at each rank are given in Table 5. Ohio University has one of the highest percentages of associate professors. Most of the other public universities in Ohio make use of instructor or lecturer ranks. Ohio University, Ohio State University, and Cleveland State University make little use of these ranks. Akron, Bowling Green, Kent, Miami, Toledo, and Wright State each have submitted faculty salary data for lecturers, which suggests that non-tenure-track data may be included. Table 6 and Figure 4 show Ohio University average faculty compensation compared with the average faculty compensation for public universities in Ohio. Ohio University ranks sixth for full professors, up from seventh in 2013-14 ($1,200 below the next highest rank), fifth for associate professors, up from sixth in 2013-14 ($1,000 below the next highest rank), third for assistant professors, same as in 2013-14 ($10,200 below the next highest rank), and second for all ranks, same as in 2013-14 ($24,500 below the next highest rank). Table 7 shows the percent salary increases for continuing faculty (all ranks combined) over seven years. Continuing faculty at Ohio University are faculty who were full-time Group I faculty in 2013-14 and continued as full-time Group I faculty in 2014-15. Ninety-four percent of Ohio University s faculty continued from 2013-14 to 2014-15. The 2013-14 to 2014-15 salary increase at Ohio University was 5.0% and includes base salary pool increases and annual promotion increases, as well as the faculty compensation pool increases given in 2014. In most of the seven years, Ohio University s average salary increases were higher than the state-wide average. Table 7 and Figure 5 also show the Office of Institutional Research
cumulative and compound percent increases for continuing faculty. Over the seven years, Ohio University had the sixth-highest percent increase for continuing faculty. Table 8 and Figure 6 show Ohio University s (all ranks combined) average faculty salary indexed over the last seven years, compared to the academic year Consumer Price Index (CPI) and national AAUP average faculty salary indexes. The continuing faculty salary increase from Table 7 is also indexed. From 2013-14 to 2014-15, Ohio University s annual average salary and the continuing faculty average salary have increased higher than the comparable national average. Table 9 shows the continuing faculty salary increases by faculty rank for Ohio University compared to public universities in Ohio and to the university s peer institutions as reported in Academe. An all ranks average for continuing faculty is not calculated in the report by Academe. Compared to the Ohio public universities, Ohio University ranked third in 2014-15 for professors, second for associate professors, and second for assistant professors. Compared to the peer institutions, Ohio University ranked third in 2014-15 for professors, third for associate professors, and third for assistant professors. Table 10 shows average fringe benefits for faculty. Ohio University ranks fifth in the percent benefits of salaries compared to Ohio public universities, and ranks fifth compared to the university s peer institutions. Average Salaries by Discipline The institutional research office at Oklahoma State University collects national aggregated faculty salary data for current faculty; salaries are broken down by rank and discipline. Oklahoma State provides broad-based comparative analysis, such as Research University High Research Activity (new Carnegie classification) universities. CUPA- Office of Institutional Research
HR similarly collects aggregated faculty salary data for current faculty; salaries are broken down by rank and discipline. CUPA-HR provides selectable comparative analyses. Public universities in Ohio were selected. Disciplines are identified by federal Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) codes, which allows for hierarchical coding of academic disciplines. Oklahoma State uses six-digit CIP codes that match most closely with Ohio University s academic departments. CUPA-HR uses four-digit CIP codes that required some of Ohio University s departments to be combined (African American Studies and Women s Studies; Modern Languages and Linguistics; Journalism and Visual Communication; Sports Administration and Recreation & Sport Pedagogy). CUPA-HR did not provide a CIP code for Aviation, so it is not included. Differences in salaries among academic disciplines exist at all universities. A study done by Cornell University provides evidence that these differences are due to three factors: quality of different departments faculty; market conditions for disciplines such as business and engineering; and the presence/absence of collective bargaining agreements. It is important to note that the strongest predictor of faculty salary at Ohio University, time (years of service, years in rank, or years since highest degree), is not collected by any of these faculty salary surveys and is not used as a variable affecting salary differences. Table 11 shows faculty salaries by rank and discipline, comparing Ohio University s salaries with CUPA-HR-reported salaries for public universities in Ohio. Only the disciplines reported by Ohio University are shown. Forty-five disciplines were reported to CUPA; 28 of these had salaries reported for both Ohio University and the statewide comparison group for each academic rank. At the professor rank, 12 of Ohio University s average salaries were higher than the state-wide average salaries. At the Office of Institutional Research
associate professor rank, 21 of Ohio University s average salaries were higher than the state-wide average salaries. At the assistant professor rank, 17 of Ohio University s average salaries were higher than the state-wide average salaries. Table 12 shows the numbers of faculty reported in each discipline by rank by Ohio University and by the statewide comparison universities. Nearly all of Ohio University s disciplines and ranks are represented by the disciplines in the state-wide comparison group. Some of the salaries by rank and discipline for the comparison group are not reported by CUPA because of small numbers of faculty or matching institutions. Table 13 shows faculty salaries by rank and discipline, comparing Ohio University s salaries with High Research Activity - Research Universities participating in Oklahoma State s salary study. Only the disciplines reported by Ohio University are shown. Fifty disciplines were reported to Oklahoma State; all of these had salaries reported for both Ohio University and the High Research Activity comparison group. Seven cells (out of 400) did not have a discipline and rank match. At the professor rank, 16 (out of 47 actual matches) of Ohio University s average salaries were higher than the High Research Activity average salaries. At the associate professor rank, 33 (out of 50 actual matches) of Ohio University s average salaries were higher than the High Research Activity average salaries. At the assistant professor rank, 31 (out of 46 actual matches) of Ohio University s average salaries were higher than the High Research Activity average salaries. For all ranks combined, 39 of Ohio University s average salaries were higher than the High Research Activity average salaries. Table 14 shows the numbers of faculty reported in each discipline by rank by Ohio University and by the High Research Activity - Research universities. Office of Institutional Research
Tracking Faculty from 2013-2014 to 2014-2015 Tables 15, 16, and 17 show the headcounts, gross salary amounts, and average salary amounts, tracking full-time Group I faculty from 2013-14 to 2014-15. Table 15 shows the numbers of continuing faculty, numbers of promoted faculty, numbers of new faculty in 2014-15, and the numbers of faculty who left Group I status or Ohio University and their reason. Between 2013-14 and 2014-15, seven faculty took the early retirement option. Early retirement was first done at Ohio University in the early 1980 s as a retirement incentive program. It continues in the present year, and an effect of the program is that it removes the most senior and highly-paid faculty from the faculty ranks. In 2014-15, if these seven faculty had not taken early retirement, the average salary for full professors would have been $105,983 ($461 higher than actual); the average salary for associate professors would have been $79,312 ($9 higher than actual); the average salary for assistant professors would have been $70,866 ($499 higher than actual); and the average salary for all ranks combined would have been $85,976 ($426 higher than actual). Table 18 shows faculty retention rates at Ohio University over time and the reasons why they are no longer at the university. The overall retention rate for faculty for 2014-15 is 94%. This percentage is similar to previous years rates (93% in 2013-14, 92% in 2012-13 and 2011-12, 94% in 2010-11, 96% in 2009-10, and 92% in 2008-09). Office of Institutional Research
