UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SPECIAL SECTION Thursday, April 20, 1995 7B Salary averages in Liberal Arts vary with size and age Geology department is king of the Hill regarding salaries By Robert Allen Kansan staff writer When it comes to KU professors salaries, the usual stereotypes don't apply. Forget the classic picture of the frugal philosophy or history professor in a cardigan nursing his tea bag for the third time. The philosophy and history departments are among the highest paid departments in the college of Liberal Arts and Sciences this year. That may seem unusual for humanities subjects, but the truth is, even biology ranked lower than history. A comparison of average salaries for departments in the college reveals other eyebrow-raising results. The geology department came out on top for fiscal year 1995. Their average salary is $56,464. That surprised Anthony Walton, chairman of the geology department. "I thought chemistry would be at the top," he said. "We have a very good chemistry department." Chemistry is a close second, with a mean salary of $56,333. But numbers only tell part of the story. Each department has its own set of circumstances that influences its average salarv. The number of professors in a department has an impact. The Russian and Eastern European studies department has two professors. Their higher-than-average salaries put their two-person department ahead of larger departments with wider salary spreads among more faculty. "We have more assistant and associate professors," said Jan Kozma, chairwoman of the department of French and Italian. "About six are relatively new. It's a very young department." "We have four distinguished professors," geology's Walton said. "That adds about $40,000 to the total per year. Divide that by 15 faculty members, and it accounts for about $2,500 per person per salary." On the other hand, the department of French and Italian, which has the lowest average, $40,260, has many junior members on its faculty. Another factor affecting averages is the number of distinguished professors in a department. To complicate matters further, James Carothers, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences, said that some professions naturally attract higher salaries, such as the sciences. Geology, chemistry, psychology, physics and astronomy are among the top six departments. The top and bottom "Some disciplines, particularly those that allow work in private enterprise or the public sector, usually have higher salaries than those peculiar to universities," he said. Below are the five highest and lowest paid departments in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Top Five 1. Geology ... $56,464 2. Chemistry ... $56,333 3. Economics ... $59,977 4. Russian and East European Studies ... $55,583 5. Psychology ... $52,601 Low Five 26. Religious Studies ... $42,574 27. Latin American Studies ... $41,163 28. East Asian Languages and Cultures ... $41,134 29. Classics ... $40,333 30. French and Italian ... $40,260 Source: Kansan staff research KANSAN Kozma said that compared to the sciences, she expected her department's average to be lower. "If you compared us to another French department in another school, we would be in the right range," she said. Carothers said that each department sets its own salary guidelines. "Individual salaries are fixed at the time of initial appointment through a process that directly reflects the market," he said. "The market varies with the field." Faculty accuse the University of underpaying minorities Average salaries may not be enough to hire some faculty By Eduardo A. Molina Kansan staff writer The University of Kansas' basic vanilla salary structure might work fine when hiring white faculty members, but it is not sufficient when hiring minorities, University administrators and faculty say. Minority faculty often demand a premium salary in today's marketplace. KU doesn't have a fund to pay that premium, but if some administrators had their way, it would. Race breakdown Sherwood Thompson, director of the Office of Minority Affairs, said that KU, as a state institution, had to use additional dollars to deal with the problem of the lack of minority faculty and staff.

Another example is Walter Dixon, professor of pharmacology and toxicology, who earns $51,238. His salary is below the average for professors at KU, which is $61,100, but it is close to the average salary for professors at the department, which is $52,406. The problem is that average salaries translate into a lack of minority faculty at the University. Out of 1,319 faculty members, only 124, or 9.4 percent, are minorities. An analysis of the salaries of some African-American faculty members showed that their salaries aren't that much different when compared to the average salaries of their peers at KU and in their respective departments or schools. For example, the salary of Hobart Jackson, associate professor of Architecture and Urban Design, is $44,614. He is close to the average salary for associate professors at KU, which is $44,700 but above the average salary for associate professors at the school, which is $40,564. "We need a financial commitment for the express purpose of recruitment," he said. "A firm commitment to establish the incentives to recruit minorities could reinvigorate this process." David Shulenburger, vice chancelor for academic affairs, said that special financing for the purpose of hiring minorities had been requested before without success. "We could hire more minority faculty with a premium," he said. "We have asked for that additional funding from the Regents and from the Legislature, but we haven't got it." Gregory Frost, president of the Black Faculty and Staff Council, said that a premium salary supplement was an important factor in bringing minority faculty and staff to KU. "There are other places' salaries we can't compete with," he said. "We don't have the funding to bring the best minority faculty. Sometimes, good candidates are interviewed, but everything finishes when salaries are negotiated. Other schools and industries have better salaries." Frost has spoken with incoming Chancellor Robert Hemenway about the need for more minority faculty and staff. addressed," he said. "If he comes with the same attitude he had in Kentucky about increasing minority faculty and staff, many things will be done faster." "He agreed this issue should be Hemenway agreed that something had to be done to increase the number of minority faculty and staff, but he didn't know if a premium salary pool would be created at KU. "I don't know what the procedures will be to hire more minority faculty and staff," he said. "But I think we have to do something to hire a work force representative of society." Maurice Bryan, director of the office of affirmative action, said the administration wasn't working hard enough to bring minorities to KU. "I really believe there are some key administrators committed to have diversity," he said. "But at the departmental level, recruitment tends to be less aggressive. Advertising is not the best way to recruit minorities." "We are hampered by salaries in Kansas," he said. "We need to look at the distribution of resources and decide what type of institution we want to become." Bryan said that salaries were a key factor to bringing minorities to the University.
