University of Chicago professors earn higher salaries than most of their peers, according to a report released by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in April.
The average salary for a full-time professor at the U of C during the 2007-08 academic year was $170,800—the fifth highest in the nation. Only professors at Rockefeller University, Harvard, Stanford, and Princeton earn more on average.
The University’s high salaries correlate with the University’s achievements and individual faculty members’ national and international reputations, said Dean of the College John Boyer.
“The University of Chicago has long been one of the four or five top universities in the United States in terms of scholarly reputation and prestige, and one of the top ten universities in the world,” Boyer said in an e-mail interview. “It is thus not surprising that our salaries are strongly competitive.”
