FACULTY SALARY STUDY
JUNE 1963

On the basis of a recent compensation poll of the faculty, the College's chapter of the American Association of University Professors reports "substantial progress" has been made since the first poll in 1958-59. In that first poll, using national AAUP rating scales from highest AA to lowest F, Dartmouth had two A's, four B's, and two C's, according to the local chapter. This year's poll shows the College with six A's (for average and minimum compensation in all ranks except full professor), one B, and one C. "This change represents substantial progress, the AAUP report notes. "Nevertheless, it is obvious that, as in the past, the record of Dartmouth is marred by the relatively low compensation rating (B and C) of the numerically largest group of faculty members - the full professors." Average compensation (salary and fringe benefits) were reported in the study as follows: professor, $14,000; associate professor, $11,780; assistant professor, $9,470; and instructor, $7,280. Average salaries showed increases over 1960-61 as follows: professor, 10.5 percent; associate professor, 13.3; assistant professor, 8.1: and instructor, 11.8. According to Prof. William A. Carter '2O, Dartmouth AAUP president, the study is based on returns supplied by 91 percent of the 236 fulltime faculty.
