Faculty Salary Equity Reviews
The University of Arizona is deeply committed to paying comparable salaries for comparable work for all of its employees, regardless of gender, race and ethnicity. Accordingly, we have completed comprehensive review of base salary among tenured and tenure-eligible (T/TE) and career track faculty.
Salary Equity Review for Tenure / Tenure Eligible Faculty
The University of Arizona completed a comprehensive review of base salary among tenured and tenure-eligible (T/TE) faculty in 2020. We engaged an external law firm and further retained a nationally recognized labor economist to guide a legal review of compensation of T/TE faculty. The near-peer comparison process revealed instances of correctable salary disparities which have been addressed by making adjustments in 12.1% of cases, totaling $885,659, equivalent to an approximate 0.5% increase in the total salary pool for this faculty population.
Salary Equity Review for Career Track Faculty
The University of Arizona completed a comprehensive review of base salary among career track (CT) faculty, building on the salary equity review for tenure track faculty that was completed in Spring 2020. The review was completed in 2022. The subsequent near-peer comparisons revealed instances of correctable salary variations which have been addressed by making adjustments totaling $666,217, equivalent to an approximate 0.9% increase in the total salary pool for this population.
