Report ranks CU faculty salaries higher than some peer institutions

Clemson University’s faculty salaries outrank those at a number of its peer institutions, according to a recent report published by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP).

Survey data indicated that the average faculty salaries for assistant, associate and full professors at Clemson University are now higher than those at Virginia Tech, the University of Georgia, University of Florida, Texas A&M, Iowa State University, and the University of South Carolina. Clemson exceeds North Carolina State University, the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, and Arizona State University in two of the three ranks.

Clemson developed a compensation plan as part of the 2020 Road Map goal to recruit and retain top people and bring faculty salaries in line with the market.

Each year, the AAUP compiles salary and benefits data for full-time faculty from colleges and universities across the country.
