This volume provides comparative trend data for faculty salaries in public and private colleges and universities, based on two surveys, one of public and the other of private senior colleges and universities. For those institutions (223 public and 345 private) participating in both 1991-92 and 1994-95 surveys, trend data are provided. For each discipline, a summary article provides a definition of the discipline and information on average salaries by rank, including "new assistant professor" and the faculty mix percentage. Comparisons are made between the two study years and with the consumer price index.
