What we earn: Staff/administration salaries

 

What-we-earn

Robert Goga of the Office of Institutional Research presented the Management Information and Analysis office’s fiscal year 2015 “Mean and Median Salaries of Full-Time Employees” report at the University Senate budget policies committee’s (BPC) Feb. 19 meeting.

The annual report lists mean and median salaries by responsibility center, categorizes faculty by rank and divides staff into four categories: executive, administrative and managerial; other professionals; secretarial and clerical; and technical, skilled and service.

The annual report once again includes an appendix that shows which job classifications are included in each category. The addition was made in 2014 at the request of BPC Staff Association Council representative Adriana Maguina-Ugarte.

The FY15 report presents data from Oct. 31, 2014, and covers all regular (not temporary) full-time employees, with the exception of research associates and postdoctoral associates.

Salary data are suppressed in categories with three or fewer employees, to maintain the privacy of the individuals, Goga said. Salaries for faculty on 12-month contracts were converted to a nine-month equivalent by using a multiplier of 0.818181.

In response to BPC members’ questions, Goga elaborated that coaches’ salaries are included as part of the “other professionals” staff category in athletics.

He noted as well that librarians in the Barco Library (School of Law) and Falk Library (Senior Vice Chancellor, Health Sciences) are categorized as faculty on the “lecturers/other” line associated with their responsibility center.

This differs from how data are presented for University Library System librarians, who are categorized in accord with their faculty librarian job classifications.

Average vs. median staff salaries
Average staff salaries by area surpassed median salaries everywhere but the School of Social Work, where the average was $50,487 and the median was $52,725.

The greatest differences were in the Office of the Senior Vice Chancellor for Health Sciences, with an average of $88,538 and a median of $47,633 (for a gap of $40,905), and in Athletics, with an average of $93,121 and a median of $50,500 (for a gap of $42,621).

Faculty salary comparisons
By rank, the 26 full professors in the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences dean’s office topped the list with an average salary of $195,970 and a median of $199,328. The 25 lecturers/other faculty in the School of Medicine were at the bottom of the list with an average salary of $25,050 and a median of $24,545.

By area, the highest faculty pay was found in the Dietrich school dean’s office, where the net total consisted of the 26 full professors’ salaries. Pay for the two associate professors, three instructors and two lecturers/other faculty was not included in the responsibility center average. Faculty in Education-University Service Programs were at the bottom of the list. There, the four faculty members — all instructors — averaged $45,420 a year, with a median of $42,860.  To view the full report, go to www.utimes.pitt.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Final_Report_FY-2015_2_16_2016.pdf.
