1 Includes staff at institutions without standard academic ranks.
NOTE: Title IV institutions are those with a written agreement with the Secretary of Education that allows the institution to participate in any of the Title IV federal student financial assistance programs. Although they are not Title IV eligible, four of the U.S. service academies are included in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) universe because they are federally funded and open to the public. Total full-time instructional staff includes those on 9/10-month and 11/12-month contracts. As a result, total full-time instructional staff in this table will not match the corresponding figure given in table 4. Total salary outlays for full-time instructional staff (by rank) on 11/12-month contracts were adjusted to 9/10-month outlays by multiplying the outlay for 11/12-month contracted staff by 0.8182. The “equated” outlays were then added to the outlays for 9/10-month staff, and the resulting sum was then divided by the total number of staff to determine an average salary for each rank. Salaries for staff on less-than-9-month contracts were not collected. Although the Salaries section of the Human Resources component was applicable to degree-granting institutions except for those institutions at which all instructional staff were part time, contributed their services, were in the military, or taught preclinical or clinical medicine, two degree-granting institutions reported not only their own data, but also data for one non-degree-granting institution and one administrative office because the data from the degree-granting institutions could not be separated from the non-degree-granting institution and administrative office. Instructional staff are those members of the instruction/research staff who are employed full time and whose specific assignments customarily are made for the purpose of providing instruction or teaching, including those with released time for research. Full-time instructional staff also includes those for whom it is not possible to differentiate between instruction or teaching, research, and public service because each of these functions is an integral component of their regular assignment. They are reported as “primarily instruction” or “instruction combined with research and/or public service” in the full-time non-medical-school part of the Employees by Assigned Position section of the Human Resources component.
