By SUSAN JONES
The annual report on mean and median salaries for Pitt’s full-time faculty and staff, broken down by school, position and reporting unit, was delivered to the Senate’s Budget Policy committee earlier this month.
The salaries for fiscal year 2018 (July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018) in most areas showed a roughly 1 percent increase over the previous year.
The only notable changes from fiscal year 2017 were the redistribution of some jobs to different responsibility centers. For instance, the number of staff employees under Business Operations dropped from 437 to 278, while those under the senior vice chancellor for business and operations increased from 33 to 195. This reflected a shift of the Public Safety department from one responsibility center to the other, according to Robert Goga, director of Institutional Research, who presented the report.
Also, several positions were shifted from the Office of the Provost to the senior vice chancellor for research, Rob Rutenbar, including Export Controls, Innovation Institute, Institute for Entrepreneurial Excellence, Office of Research and Office-Technology Management.
See the full report here. An appendix in the full report shows which job classifications are in each category.
