This Tableau workbook provides faculty salary data by department (including gender, faculty rank and years since degree) to assist in determining whether faculty members are appropriately and equitably paid in comparison to peers at UW-Madison.

Data shown is from the Human Resource System (HRS) and is complete through January. Any additions, subtractions, or changes to the faculty data in HRS since then will not be reflected in these tables or graphs.

Certain elements of these data are collected from employees on the condition that the data will be used only for limited affirmative action and related University purposes. Therefore, your access to the data is with the understanding and agreement that you will not disclose them to others who do not themselves have access.

These data are prepared for each tenure-granting department. Faculty members are shown in each department where they hold a tenure or tenure-track appointment. The percent commitment for the department is shown in the table under '% Appt this Dept.' Salaries on a 12-month bases for 'A' appointment are converted to a 9-month basis. Salaries on a 9-month basis for 'C' appointments are not modified. The table and chart shows all salaries on a 9-month basis. Faculty with zero-dollar appointments and those paid 100% through an administrative appointment (such as chancellor or dean) are excluded from the chart. However, these faculty members are listed in the table with $0 faculty salary. Faculty with missing degree information are also excluded from the chart but listed in the table.

The scatterplot for each department displays a linear trend line, which is the line that most closely approximates the data in the scatterplot. The tooltip that appears when hovering over the trend line has three lines: 1) the equation used to produce the trend line; 2) the R-Squared value, which shows the ratio of variance in the data, as explained by the model, to the total variance in the data; and 3) the P-value, which reports the probability that the equation in the first line was a result of random chance.
