AAUP Faculty Compensation Survey 2009-10

AAUP is currently working with a software designer to renew the Web interface for our 2009-10 survey, and expect to open the site for data collection by mid-November. We will shift the initial deadline back accordingly, and will be sending a notice to our survey contacts with more information shortly. We do not anticipate any significant change in reporting categories or definitions, but the process for submitting and verifying data will change. You will be able to make use of the same Excel file format for assembling data and performing an initial validation, and we will soon make available an updated version of the Excel file with proper labeling. We are making changes to the Web interface for submitting and reviewing data, which we expect will result in a cleaner and more polished look, as well as a more user-friendly experience. Later we will make corresponding changes to the interface for ordering custom reports.

If you know the survey contact person or other information about your institution will be changing, please send an e-mail to aaupfcs@aaup.org. For notes on other plans for this survey season, please see the September 2009 issue of Electronic AIR.

As always, we appreciate your participation and welcome your comments, suggestions, and questions. We will do our best to respond in a timely manner.
