Illinois Public Community Colleges Faculty and Administrative Salary Survey: Fall 1979.

In October 1979, a study was conducted to collect information about faculty and administrative salaries in Illinois community colleges for use by State agencies in justifying budget requests and by colleges in determining salaries for the coming years. The survey focused on the number of full- and part-time faculty, faculty salaries based on actual contracts, faculty salaries from salary schedules, part-time faculty salary rates, overload salary rates, total fiscal year (W-2 type) faculty salaries, average faculty load information, faculty organizations, employment benefits, and salaries of key administrators. The survey revealed that the state average of the mean academic year contractual salaries actually paid to full-time faculty was $18,849 during 1979-80; the average 12-month salary was $20,289. According to salary schedules, instructors with a Master's Degree earned from $12,227 to $24,402, depending upon their years of experience. Part-time faculty salary rates ranged from $185 to $315 per course semester hour, averaging $240 during the fall 1979 term. The average overload rate for full-time faculty was $332 per course semester hour. The number of part-time teaching faculty increased by 0.4% to 10,266, while the number of full-time faculty decreased 0.6% to 4,935. Statewide and college data and the questionnaire are included in the study report. (AYC)
