The faculty salary report presented in December by Amanda Brodish, associate vice provost for data analytics, showed Pitt’s regional campuses figures stayed about the same as the previous year. (See the Jan. 12 University Times for Oakland salary numbers)

The regional campus figures are from 2021-22. For this report, the salaries at all three of Pitt’s four-year regional campuses — Johnstown, Greensburg and Bradford — are combined. In addition, instructors and lecturers were put into one category. Institutions are grouped into deciles based on the average salaries — decile 1 represents the top 10 percent, decile 2 the next lower 10 percent, etc. through decile 10 which represents the bottom 10 percent.

This benchmark group is based on data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). The peer group includes baccalaureate colleges, both public and private not-for-profit institutions, without a professional focus (as defined by the Carnegie Classification 2018) located in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, but excluding those in the New York City area. 

Professors: 29 faculty; average salary, $93,200; decile 4; adjusted for cost of living, decile 2

Associate professors: 103 faculty; average salary, $74,700; decile 5; adjusted for cost of living, decile 1

Assistant professors: 88 faculty; average salary, $61,000; decile 6; adjusted for cost of living, decile 2
