  • inian news February 24,1999 Faculty Senate Debates Salary Discrepancies by Jeffrey Sykes Staff Writer An article in the February 1 edition of the Faculty Forum, an on-campus newsletter dealing with faculty issues,has sparked a debate over the salaries some faculty are paid and the end result of the merit raise process in effect throughout the UNC System. Henry. Mainwaring, professor of Biology, authored the one page article entitled "Salaries." In it, he points out the serious salary discrepancies between faculty in the same department, as well as the huge gap between College of Business faculty and faculty of Western's three other colleges, Arts and Sciences, Applied Science and Education, and Allied Professions. While market forces are often cited to explain why professors in the College of Business are paid nearly one-third more than other faculty, many disagree with this way of rewarding those employed in academia. "We've got a problem and the article addresses it," said Dr. Mainwaring. "We have a range of salaries that probably don't reflect the work that some of the faculty are doing." Mainwaring has been on the case for a number of years as chairman of the College of Arts and Sciences Committee for Conditions of Faculty Employment. Some of the numbers are astounding. In the article Mainwaring states that "in one department, for example, there is a salary differential of $26,292 between the lowest paid associate professor and the highest paid full professor, and both teachers received their Ph.D. within one year of one another." Also, according to the article, in the College of Business "this year's salary increases range from $0 to $5,821." The system of determining merit is also questioned by Mainwaring and others. In the College of Education and Allied Professions, there are 60 faculty and 26 categories of competence, while in the College of Applied Science there are 50 faculty and 24 categories. These correspond roughly to a 2 to 1 ratio. In the College of Business there are 48 -——————-—— faculty and 36 categories. The College of Arts and Sciences, by far the largest, has 131 faculty and only 27 categories. "In all of these colleges there are far too many categories of competence," ———— commented Mainwaring. He advocates a three tiered system of merit: above average, average and below average. The largest discrepancy is between the College of Business and the number of credit hours taught. Fact Book 1998, published by WCU, gives the number of credit hours taught by each department. A few examples give an understanding of the argument for salary equity. Mathematics and Computer Science generates 4341 hours of credit at the freshman and sophomore level, compared to 1083 for Accounting, 1350 for Business Administration and Law and 0 for Management. The average salary, by department is $45,342.88 for Mathematics, while Accounting averages $66,395.57, BA and Law $66,652.14 and Management $63,992.60. Communication and Theatre "We have a range of salaries that probably don't reflect the work that some of the faculty are doing." Henry Mainwaring Professor of Biology Arts generates 1407 credit hours at the junior and senior level, compared with 273 for Accounting, 846 for BA and Law and 1644 for Management. While the credit hours are comparable, the average salary in CMTA is a mere $40,443.57. On a one on one basis, and taking into account time served at the University, some of the discrepancies border on the absurd. An Accounting professor hired in 1996 received $70,615 in —————— 1998 and received a raise of $2,930 on June, 30 1998, to bring the salary for that position to $73,545. A professor of Modern For- eign Language with decades of ser- ——^~^—^- vice to Western is paid $38,185. Some replies to Mainwaring's article addressed this issue. An anonymous reply by "An Older Perspective" stated that "years ago I asked a new Chancellor why new Accounting positions were paying twice those offered in my department. 'They're worth it,' I was told. 'Ph.D.'s in your field are a dime a dozen.' If market economics is the primary factor in salaries at WCU, I guess some of us older generalist SHOULD just go away." Another reply by an anonymous faculty member stated that "it's demoralizing to know that there are full professors with 25 years of teaching experience who are paid less than assistant professors with only a few years teaching experience. It's demoralizing to know that many of the faculty carrying the largest burden of the sSlitertBillKiil EXPLORE A CAREER IN STUDENT AFFAIRS: A Program for Undergraduate Students TTitosday, February 25, 1999 6:30 - 8:00 PM, Cardinal Room, University Center ♦ ♦ ♦ Get an overview of Student Affairs career opportunities. Talk to professionals on campus who work in Student Affairs. Find out information about professional organizations such as: ACCA, ACPA, ACUHO-I, NASPA, and SACE. Obtain information on graduate programs in College Student Personnel, Higher Education, and Counseling. JOIN US! University's general education requirements are among the lowest paid on the campus." Terry Kinnear, professor of Management and Chairman of the Faculty Senate agrees. "I think we have a moral obligation to narrow the gap to ensure justice prevails and faculty are treated equitably," he said. The Faculty Senate passed a unanimous resolution on 2-18-99 to address the issue. The thrust of the resolution is to see where they stand at the present time. "We have to do diagnosis first," stated Kinnear. "What Western has not done is systematically work on closing that gap over time. The market is a factor, there is no denying it. I do wonder whether there is a myth that surrounds that. In some instances, perhaps we pay people more than is necessary." Vice-chancellor for Academic Affairs Richard Collings explained the use of market economics in hiring professors and deciding on merit raises. "Our goal is that every student, no matter what their major, should have access to quality instruction. We are competing with business and other universities, in some disciplines, for quality faculty . Every university faces this," he said. The merit raise system is dictated by the state legislature and rules of the UNC- System. Western is allocated a lump sum by the legislature and then decides the merit issue. The Dean of each college makes the decision of merit, on recommendation from the various department heads. The Dean's decisions are then approved, or rejected, by Vice-chancellor Collings and ultimately Chancellor Bardo.
