Underpaid faculty, disgruntled staff: A&S hugs the bottom rung compared to peer institutions’ salaries and suffers from the lowest morale in years.
According to multiple surveys from the college, A&S faculty and staff receive lower wages than their equivalents at similar institutions. The impact? Low morale within the college and difficulty making ends meet.
A&S faculty released three surveys in the past two months.The first, by Pan-African Studies chair Ricky Jones and philosophy chair David Owen, focused on climate in A&S. The second, by a group called the Faculty Salary Working Group, set out to find an updated salary comparison.
