Colleges Worry that Newly Hired Professors Earn Higher Salaries than Faculty Veterans.
Blum, Debra E.
Chronicle of Higher Education, v36 n7 pA1,21 Oct 18 1989

Salary compression occurs when colleges are pressured by the job market to pay competitive salaries to attract scholars at lower ranks. (MLW)
