The gap in faculty salaries between private and public institutions has widened over the past 10 years for faculty a all ranks.

In 2007-2008, the University implemented the first of a four-year plan to raise faculty salaries, which slightly closed the gap between average faculty salaries at UC and its comparison private institutions.

Figures are in constant inflation-adjusted 2007-08 dollars using GDP deflator.

The data presented here come from the annual faculty compensation survey published by the American Association of University Professors. In addition to the AAUP survey, the University conducts other faculty salary comparison studies, such as the Faculty Salaries at Public Institutions report, which is submitted to the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC). The average weighted faculty salaries reported here using AAUP data will not completely match average faculty salaries reported to CPEC due to differences in population definitions, time frames and methodologies. However, the general trends reported are comparable from one faculty salary survey to another.
