2014 UH Executive & Managerial Salaries Posted

Along with other changes in the UHPA website, the section covering faculty salaries, and those of UH administrators, has been enhanced and improved.  The faculty salaries are updated monthly, and we request the disclosure of current administrative salaries in the Fall and Spring semesters.  You find searching for salary information to be much easier, and enabled by specific search parameters, e.g., campus, rank, discipline, etc.
