Presenting data on academic faculty salaries and compensation nationwide and in the University and Community College System of Nevada (UCCSN), this report highlights two studies of salaries at 51 land grant universities and at 42 medium-enrollment urban community colleges for the years 1985-86 through 1991-92. Data for both studies were obtained from the American Association of University Professors' annual survey of faculty compensation, and each study is divided into two sections dealing with national data and UCCSN data, respectively. The first part presents data on public universities, collecting information on salaries and compensation for one university from each state and both the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). This section indicates that in 1991-92 the average national salary rose 7.2% from the 1989-90 averages, the average UNR salary rose 11.1% in the same period, while the average UNLV salary rose only 4%. The second part presents data on 42 urban community colleges and two Nevada community colleges, Community College of Southern Nevada (CCSN) and Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC). Data in this part indicate that average community college salaries in 1991-92 rose nationally 10.3% from the 1989-90 averages, the average CCSN salary rose 13.7% over the same period, while the average TMCC salary rose 9.2%.
