Data visualization. please download the source data for accessible information.

UC faculty salaries are between 13 and 16 percent below the benchmark that UC has historically used to assess their competitiveness. This may challenge the University's efforts to recruit and retain high-quality faculty.

UC historically has used eight universities — four publics and four privates — against which to benchmark its faculty salaries. The four publics are Illinois, Michigan, SUNY Buffalo and Virginia; the four privates are Harvard, MIT, Stanford and Yale. UC's faculty salaries fall below those of the comparison four privates and the comparison four publics.
