Important Notes

Peer salary data is provided through the AAU Data Exchange and is considered confidential; it may be used only for internal purposes by approved audiences.

Eleven public universities are official salary peers: University of California at Berkeley, University of California at Los Angeles, University of Illinois, Indiana University, Purdue University, University of Michigan, Michigan State University, University of Minnesota‐Twin Cities, Ohio State University, University of Texas at Austin, and University of Washington‐Seattle.

Average salary for peer institutions is computed excluding UW‐Madison.

Clinical departments in School of Medicine and Public Health are excluded. Salary comparisons were not developed for small UW‐Madison departments (3 or fewer FTE). UW‐Madison faculty are assigned to a department based on their tenure home.

Departments are matched across universities using the federal Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP). Some of the CIP codes assigned by peer universities to their departments have been changed for this report in order to increase the size of the peer comparison groups. For this table, if a department has fewer than 3 official peer institutions or 9 peer FTE at the 6‐digit CIP level, comparisons are made to departments at the 4‐digit CIP level. These comparison CIPs are shown on the "Department Comparison CIP Table" dashboard.

Faculty members employed on 12‐month contracts are included, but their salaries have been converted to 9‐month rates.
