Salaries could be higher Study finds KU faculty paid less than peers
By Cindy Harger
Kansan staff writer
KU's fight for higher salaries could be strengthened by a report released yesterday.
The report, prepared by the Kan-
gan University Audit Division,
reinforced findings in the con-
stitution of Kansas faculty is underp
pared to faculty at five peer
The average faculty salary at KU was $73,000 during the 1876-88 school year. The average faculty salary at Peking University is $44,200; associate professors, $20,300; assistant professors, $28,300; and doctoral students, $36,900.
The average faculty salaries for KU's peer universities during the 1987-48 school year ranged from a high of $44,300 at the University of North Carolina to a low of $4,900 at the University of Oregon. In the BU department, faculty salaries at the University of Colorado were $42,500 and at the University of
Oklahoma, $35,400. At the fifth KU peer, the University of Iowa, the average salary was $43,000.
Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, said the report should make people more confident about continuing the Margin of Excellence
"We hope this will sell the second and third years of the program to the Legislature and the governor." Ramaley said.
The Margin of Excellence plan is the Board of Regents' three-year plan to increase financing for faculty salaries to 95 percent of peer average and total school financing to 100 percent of peer average.
The report also compared the cost of living at the five peer institutions and indicated that KU faculty have relatively high purchasing power. However, Ramalay said professors who job roles rarely take fall into account.
"It's important to use that as an
argument, but it doesn't do that much good," Ramalay说."It's not what faculty pays attention to. They don't consider the cost of living except as a very small, last piece of their decision."
Bob Jerry, chairman of the Senate Executive Committee, said although he hadn't seen the report, it would probably confirm what the he had known all along — faculty salaries need to be increased.
The cost of living figures were misleading, Ramalay said, because the universities chosen as peer institutes compete with other colleges that compete with KU for faculty.
The Legislature has appropriated an extra $3.3 million in the present fiscal year budget for KU to upgrade salaries under the Margin of Expense (ROMEX) program and yesterday's report would urge the Legislature to continue financing.
The Associated Press supplied some information for this story.
SHUTTLE
Continued from p. 1
Shock, disbelief and sadness were common emotions to many KU students and faculty as they watched the Challenger Space Shuttle explode.
But yesterday, many also expressed eagerness to move forward with the Space Shuttle program and increase recovery will be launch tomorrow.
Paul Luecht, assistant director of biological survey, said that the Discovery launch would create as much interest as the first space
"I think everyone will be watching to see what happens." he said.
Many can remember exactly where they were, what they were doing and what they did when they heard about the shuttle disaster.
Liz O'Leary, Overland Park sophomore, said she cried.
"It was during school and I was at home sick that day. "O'Leary said, "I know what happened, whether anyone was saved. One knew one."
Jeff Crawford, Wichita senior, had come home from school for lunch.
Crawford said, "It didn't seem like you had a lot of time it didn't surprise me because of the way the government works. They give things to the lowest payer."
And Henry Fullenwider, professor of Germanic language and literatures, said he felt surprise and disbelief.
"I was watching it on the cable news network," Fullerwind said. "I was surprised when it exploded. But I was led to believe that very few people saw it five but most people have a clear picture of it from the repeated televising."
"Someone said the shuttle blew up and I thought they were kidding."
