"Regional Campus Faculty Salaries: A Comparative Analysis"

The AURCO Newsletter will be published each Fall, Winter, and Spring. News items received too late for one issue will be held for the next. The public-relations officers at most campuses have now put us on their mailing lists for news releases and newsletters, but anyone affiliated with a regional campus may send items for publication. If your campus is underrepresented in the "News" section, please ask your public relations office to put me on the mailing list for news releases and/or send me personal or campus news highlights directly.  If there is a web-published newsletter covering faculty activities at your university that I don't seem to be accessing, please send me the e-mail.

All correspondence should be addressed to:

Martin Kich, Editor

AURCO Newsletter

Wright State University--

Lake Campus

7600 State Route 703

Celina, OH 45822

News items may also be sent by e-mail to:

martin.kich@wright.edu 

Or by fax, marked to the Attention of Martin Kich, AURCO Newsletter, to:

419-586-0368.

Inquiries may be made by telephone to 419-586-0374.

A link to the Web copy of each issue of the newsletter will be sent in an e-mail message to all faculty at regional campuses. I am currently revising the mailing list that Gordon Aubrecht initially compiled, and I am very willing to add the e-mail addresses of faculty, staff, and administrators who have not been included.

If someone on each campus will send me a message that includes the faculty-list and `staff-list addresses for that campus, I will be happy to add them to my address book and, in effect, allow the campus administrator at each campus to keep that part of our mailing list up to date.  Anyone at a campus can simply forward a message to me that has initially been sent to all of your faculty and/or staff.

To date I have received faculty-list and staff-list addresses, or updated mailing lists, from the following campuses: Bowling Green--Firelands, Cincinnati--Raymond Walters, Ohio--Eastern, Ohio--Southern,  Ohio State--Lima, Ohio State--Marion, Wright--Lake.

Within a very short while, all back issues will be available at this web site: http://www.wright.edu/~martin.kich/

Back

The meeting was called to order at 12:50 by President Gordon Aubrecht.

2.  Treasurer’s report: The report was postponed since the Treasurer had not yet arrived.

3.  Secretary’s report: The Secretary was reminded that a new copy of the by-laws with revisions needed to be sent to the membership. The Secretary reported that the e-mail addresses for the executive committee had been purged and corrected for last year and asked that new representatives send in their e-mail addresses and indicate who they were replacing. It was also suggested that the Secretary contact campuses not represented to see if representatives could be elected.

4.  Newsletter Editor’s report: By oversight this report was omitted from the agenda and inserted by unanimous consent. Editor Martin Kich reported he would now be suppressing the addresses on the Newsletter. In addition, rather than sending the Newsletter, it would be put up on his web site and the announcement sent to members would have a link to the web site. He also intends to put up an archive of past issues. He asked that articles for the newsletter be sent to him at martin.kich@wright.edu. Some discussion then ensued as to the advantages of pdf files over html files and it was suggested that perhaps it would be helpful if files might be available in both formats.

5.  AURCO Journal Editor’s Report: Art Molitierno handed out a summary of the finances of the Journal. Due to a depressed printing market last year Art was able to drive an extraordinary deal in the printing of the 700 copies of the Journal. The result was that the Journal actually turned a profit of $421.97. Unfortunately we can expect the printing of the next year to be closer to $5000 than the $3000+ that this years Journal cost. The President and the Committee then expressed their warm appreciation to Art for his skill, professionalism and hard work. Art also asked that we note and remind members about Etude & Techne, a new magazine intended to offer an outlet for the creative writing of students and faculty at the regional campuses. The web site is http://www.southern.ohiou.edu/EtudeTechne/default.html

6.  Report of the Chair of the 2002 Conference: Since Muhammed Yousif was not present, John Brady was asked to report in his stead. He reported that the general attitude seemed to be that the conference was successful and several comments from around the room concurred. He said that he believed that the final report and money had been sent to the Treasurer and would be in her report.

7.  Report on STRS proposals: Gordon reported that he had been selected by lot to attend a meeting in which STRS reported on changes being made to the medical benefits to retirees. Of particular concern was the projected 2004 change that retirees would need 15 years of service (rather than the current 5) to get any health insurance subsidy. After e-mail consultation with the executive committee he sent a letter recognizing the need for the 2003 changes but requesting more member consultation in the changes beyond that time. He handed out copies of that letter and several responses back and forth. Also included in the handouts was a memo from Larry Lewellen, OSU Associate Vice President for Human Resouces, to the Council of Deans. The Columbus campus is concerned that the change would make it more difficult to attract high profile late career professors who would be directly affected by this change since they would not be likely to have fifteen years remaining in their careers. This suggests that we may have strong support from our main campuses on this issue.

Gordon indicated that part of the problem is that there is no university member on the STRS Board. Art suggested that we might try to arrange a general meeting with representatives of all the public universities with the STRS Board. Martin asked why we couldn’t put up a university candidate. Gordon pointed out that that had been done in the past and they were not elected.

Scott pointed out that this problem seemed to be part of the general health care crisis. Gordon agreed but pointed out that the problem has been known for a number of years yet the issue appears only to have been brought before the STRS Board in Summer of 2002 and they appear then to have acted in panic. He went on to suggest that a different way of dealing with the problem might be to have all the state retirement systems seek health insurance as a single group. The larger the group the more clout it has. Art suggested that we should have a session on this issue at the next AURCO conference.

Martin returned to the question of getting a university representative on the STRS Board and suggested we might be able to stimulate better return on ballots from university members. Gordon replied that the reason university candidates had been defeated in the past was that they seemed to bring out increased participation in voting by elementary and secondary teachers to make sure that one of their own retained the seat. Martin asked if perhaps the AAUP might get involved. Gordon indicated that the AAUP was looking into the matter but it was not yet clear what would be done. He also said the OSU Compensation and Benefits Committee was looking into the matter but its recommendations were routinely ignored even within OSU. A general suggestion was to get to people who do have influence who could assist us. It was also suggested that we should come to STRS with specific suggestions.

Gordon felt that the major issue here was not the immediate one of the change in eligibility from 5 years to 15 years, the major issue was the STRS Board making major changes without consultation with the membership. While bad in itself, it is made worse by having no voice on the Board from universities. The suggestion was made to start a petition drive to require a university representative on the Board. Gordon asked for and received the endorsement of the executive committee to continue to work on influencing the STRS Boards changes in health care provisions.

8.  Treasurer’s report: Tracy Hawkins, having arrived during the STRS discussion, handed out the Treasurer’s report. AURCO had a balance of $1958.21 on April 6^th 2002. Fees collected for the April conference were $6785. Expenses for the conference were $4604.03. This left a total of $2180.97 from the conference. Expenses for the AURCO Journal were $471. Giving a new balance as of November 1^st 2002 of $3668.18. The committee expressed its great appreciation for the excellent job Tracey is doing as Treasurer.

11.  Report of the 2005 Conference at OU - Zanesville: No report.

12.  Location of the Fall 2003 business meeting: It was decided that the meeting would be held at Chillicothe on Oct. 17^th to allow those who might be interested to attend the pumpkin festival there at that time.

13.  New business: Bob asked how AURCO can attract more active faculty members. It was observed that the conferences and business meetings seem to spark interest and thus our practice of spreading our meetings throughout the campuses is ourf best recruiting tool. In that regard it was noted that KSU – Ashtabula had indicated some interest and the President said he would contact them to see if they would be interested in hosting a future business meeting.

It was noted that many campuses have no organized way of selecting representatives and sometimes when a representative leaves the campus forgets to elect or appoint a replacement. The Secretary was asked to send reminder notices to such campuses to remind them.

Martin pointed out that with digital technology it would be possible to include pictures in the newsletter on the website. He encouraged people to send in pictures particularly pictures from the Lima Conference.

Art Molitierno is in charge of the awards committee for the next conference.

The committee expressed its appreciation for the worm hospitality extended by OU – Lancaster and particularly to Dean Bari Watkins.

The meeting was adjourned at 2:45.

Respectfully submitted,

James Bode, Secretary

Ohio State--Lima

Regional Campus Faculty Salaries: A Comparative Analysis

by Gordon Aubrecht

Past President of AURCO

Physics, Ohio State--Marion

I just received the latest issue of Academe in my mailbox. As in years past, it shows the salaries of all colleges and universities cooperating with AAUP, which includes all Ohio Regional Campuses. I am attaching the spreadsheet so you may examine it yourself (original is an Excel 4.0 spreadsheet).

A few remarks, for those who don't want to be bothered to look. At professor, RC faculty are paid on average about 83% of their main campus colleagues.  At the high end are Miami, Hamilton (108%) and Kent, Ashtabula (100%). At the low end are Ohio, Chillicothe (72%) and OSU, Mansfield (67%). Average salaries at professor range from $57.8k (Ohio, Chillicothe) to $91.7k (Miami, Hamilton); main campus average salaries range from $80.8k (Ohio U) to $98.2k (OSU).

At associate professor, RC faculty are paid on average about 89% of their main campus colleagues. At the high end are Miami, Hamilton (102%) and Kent, Tuscarawas (99%). At the low end are OSU, Newark (80%) and Cincinnati, Claremont (73%). Average salaries at associate professor range from $46.1k (Cincinnati, Claremont) to $63.7k (Miami, Hamilton); main campus average salaries range from $60.4k (WSU) to $66.3k (OSU).

At assistant professor, RC faculty are paid on average about 90% of their main campus colleagues. At the high end are BGSU, Firelands (106%), Kent, Ashtabula (105%), and Kent, Salem (103%). At the low end are Cincinnati, Raymond Walters (80%) and Cincinnati, Claremont (73%).  Average salaries at assistant professor range from $36.8k (Cincinnati, Claremont) to $53.2k (BGSU, Firelands); main campus average salaries range from $49k (KSU) to $59.1k (OSU).

Overall, faculty at the two Miami University Regional Campuses do well at every level both in actual salary dollars and in percentage relative to Miami, Oxford. University of Cincinnati faculty stand out as low in terms of salaries and comparison. The low end also has Ohio U. and OSU prominent.

I hope this arms you with knowledge you can use!
