Salary Survey Finds Overall Median Base Salary for Senior-Level Administrative Positions in Higher Education Increased by 4%

"CUPA-HR recently released its 2006-07 Administrative Compensation Survey report. Results indicate that the overall median base salary for senior-level administrative jobs in colleges and universities increased by 4%. Increases were greater this year than in any of the previous three years.

This finding reflects the salaries of nearly 73,000 job incumbents in public and private institutions nationwide. Salaries were reported by 1,329 institutions for 272 selected positions, mostly at the director level and above. CUPA-HR received assistance from EDUCAUSE in updating the survey’s Information Technology positions. In total, 61 new positions were added to the survey this year.

As it has now for many years, the overall median salary increase continued to outpace inflation. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers [CPI-U] in 2006 was 3.2% higher than in 2005."
