This book was released on 2001-05-15 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public debate over higher education has changed from questions about education, learning, scholarship, and professional service to performance criteria measured in quantitative, business-like indicators, such as revenues and costs of operation. The rules have changed, and new consumers have new concerns and challenges for higher education. Faculty compensation is one means an institution can use to achieve its mission, and it is a management tool academic administrators can use to meet external demands for cost control, faculty performance, and institutional quality. This report focuses on: (1) the link between the faculty compensation system and its impact on institutional mission and quality; (2) the external and internal factors affecting the amount of faculty compensation; (3) changes in absolute and relative levels of faculty compensation over time and economic factors affecting these changes; (4) the different types of compensation systems used; (5) the intellectual rationale of the two compensation systems used most often; (6) operational advantages and disadvantages of the faculty compensation systems; (7) development of an effective faculty compensation system; and (8) the types of systems recommended for different institutions. Appended are: Illustrative Criteria for Faculty Merit Awards and Evaluation Tool for Satisfactory Faculty Standards. Name and Subject Indexes are also included.

Download or read book Paying the Professoriate written by Philip G. Altbach and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are professors paid? Can the "best and brightest" be attracted to the academic profession? With universities facing international competition, which countries compensate their academics best, and which ones lag behind? Paying the Professoriate examines these questions and provides key insights and recommendations into the current state of the academic profession worldwide. Paying the Professoriate is the first comparative analysis of global faculty salaries, remuneration, and terms of employment. Offering an in-depth international comparison of academic salaries in twenty-eight countries across public, private, research, and non-research universities, chapter authors shed light on the conditions and expectations that shape the modern academic profession. The top researchers on the academic profession worldwide analyze common themes, trends, and the impact of these matters on academic quality and research productivity. In a world where higher education capacity is a key driver of national innovation and prosperity, and nations seek to fast-track their economic growth through expansion of higher education systems, policy makers and administrators increasingly seek answers about what actions they should be taking. Paying the Professoriate provides a much needed resource, illuminating the key issues and offering recommendations.

Book excerpt: An overview is provided of the history and current status of merit pay from the perspectives of faculty unions, community and junior colleges, and elementary and secondary schools. Chapter 1 stresses the need to raise the salaries of master teachers, and chapter 2 discusses the responses of faculty unions, faculty members, and the public to the advent of merit pay. Chapter 3 suggests that a rationale and philosophical basis be developed by colleges before a merit plan is instituted, while chapter 4 offers suggestions for the development of an administrative evaluation system to identify excellence in instructional performance. Types of merit pay or merit recognition plans in place or being proposed at elementary and secondary schools are reviewed in chapter 5, while chapter 6 summarizes the findings of a national study of merit recognition in American community colleges. Chapter 7 outlines the provisions of specific merit pay and merit recognition plans in two-year institutions. Chapter 8, the final chapter, presents a summary of the issues related to merit pay, reviews emerging trends, and expresses hopes for the overall improvement of the quality of the American education system in the next decade.
