Distribution of Average Faculty Salaries for MSMC

In a recent article “Distribution of Average Faculty Salaries,
2009-10” which was published by The Chronicle of Higher Education
released the average annual salary by academic rank of colleges and
universities across the country.

Mount Saint Mary College showed an incline of about $20,00 to 30,000
in the past ten years. Professors at this college are getting paid
approximately $92,600, Associate Professors are getting paid about
$66,400, Assistance Professor are getting paid around $56,700 and instructors
are getting paid about $50,400 dollars.

The President of the college is getting paid about $117,000 and alot of incentives come with that as well. He is given a car to use. He gets a chef to cook him his meals. His car insurance is paid for and the list keeps going. The life a college president seems pretty good.

But, there is huge significant difference in salaries from being a
professor to being an instructor and even the college president.

Should there be such a big difference? The range in salaries should be a bit closer. Professors and instructors though there is a difference do pretty much the same thing. There should not be a $40,000 difference in salary from one or the other. Both of their jobs to to teach students.

It would be more fair to pay them a little bit closer in salary. The president salary is pretty fair for he is the head of the college and has to make sure it runs efficiently and smoothly.
