Objectives of Compensation Study as defined by Seton Hall University

Benchmark faculty salaries against peer institutions by comparable rank and academic classification.

Comparative Information
1. Market Comparisons

Peer Institutions: Comparable institution criteria: enrollment composition, endowment, US News Rankings, budget, location, tuition dependency, private vs. public funding Confirmed by Executive Cabinet and reviewed by Core Project Group Competitor Institutions: Universities which often vie for the same faculty pool. Competitors different by location, private vs. public, Carnegie or US News Classification

Compression Analysis Methodology

Goal Determine whether salaries of similarly situated faculty members are appropriate relative to each other and to the competitive market Process Collect salary data for faculty at Seton Hall by rank, discipline, years of service, and tenure status. Determine variance between base salary of SHU faculty and median salary of peer institutions. Determine salary range for each rank and discipline Compare SHU faculty salaries using the market median for each rank as the reference point. Determine if variance is normative: Relative to the market Relative to experience (years in rank)

INTRODUCTION

Below are descriptions of the information that can be found on each worksheet. CUPA Competitiveness by Rank Summarizes competitive position for each of the four faculty ranks in all disciplines across SHU CUPA Competitiveness by Discipline Details competitive information for each of the thirty-seven disciplines and overall CUPA Individual Exhibit Details competitive information for each faculty member within college, discipline and rank Ordered by discipline, then by increasing rank in increasing time in rank Blended CUPA Discipline Provides further detail for footnote #4 in the CUPA Competitiveness by Disc. Worksheet AAUP Competitiveness Details competitive information for each of the four faculty rank and overall NOTES: - Market data was collected from the competitor and peer institutions; aspirational institutions were excluded from this analysis - Compa-Ratio is the ratio of actual salary to market median. Compa-Ratio = Actual Salary/Market Median A compa-ratio of 1.0 means the actual salary and market median are identical A compa-ratio of less than 1.0 means the actual salary is lower than the market median A compa-ratio of more than 1.0 means the actual salary is higher than the market median - Assumptions about the relationship of salaries to market median were developed as a way to review competitiveness and equity

Analysis by Blended CUPA

BLENDED CUPA DISCIPLINE Seton Hall faculty in the Mathematics & Computer Science department were matched to two CUPA disciplines: 11.01 - COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCES AND SUPPORT SERVICES - GENERAL 27.01 - MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS - MATHEMATICS To determine the market salaries, we collected data from both disciplines and used the average for two faculty memebers Since the market data between the disciplines varies considerably, it will be important to discuss how to evaluate this data (e.g., weighting one discipline more heavily than another). The table below details the salary data for the two disciplines and calculates the average that was used. CUPA DATA
