A New Way of Doing Business
Competitive Salaries (2001 Briefing Paper #2)
-
In
comparing average faculty salaries, WSU ranks 22 of out a list of 23
comparable institutions nationwide.
The list includes institutions similar to WSU with programs in
liberal arts, agriculture, engineering, and veterinary medicine.
-
WSU pays
$10,000 less than the average salaries of our competing universities.
-
We are losing faculty to comparable universities.
Many departing faculty members were dedicated WSU scholars who
liked living in Washington and wanted to stay.
Characteristically, one faculty member described his decision
to leave as "a tortured process." Not only are we losing the
established superstars, but faculty at all levels.
