Ranking UH Faculty Salaries: An Update UHPA Report

The Union continues to study UH faculty salaries in comparison with peer groups. This update report is based upon 2010-2011 data and provides a historical trend analysis—including selected graphic representations of the results. UH Faculty Salary increases have kept pace with peer institutions while continuing to fall below peer groups. A review of percentile ranks with peers reflect that UH Community College faculty salaries have dropped while UH-Hilo climbed in their ranking and UHM stayed in the same general rank. UH-West Oahu ranks at the 70th percentile in 2010-2011. Percentile rankings by academic rank indicate that professors’ salaries seem to fall below their peers at a greater rate than do the average salaries paid to associate or assistant professors. Full detailed tables are included in the appendix. Please note that the source of data is the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System and that neither the data nor the analysis corrects for cost of living differences.
