The Commission regularly conducts a study on faculty salaries in California's public universities as compared with faculty salaries at comparable institutions. This study presents estimates of the percentage changes in faculty salaries that would enable California faculty to attain parity with their comparison groups in the coming fiscal year. The analysis is based on data from six of the eight University of California comparison institutions, and all 20 California State University comparison institutions. This year's methodology is unchanged from the last several years; it consists of two primary elements: (1) collecting salary data from comparison institutions; and (2) a computational process that involves the weighting of several data elements by various factors, such as the number of faculty at each rank.
