IN-21: Adjunct Faculty Compensation

Info from Karen Appleby: On the Vice Provost for Academic Personnel’s website, we have the part-time salary schedule (payment per credit hour) which defines several pay levels based on experience and educational qualifications.: https://nau.edu/uploadedFiles/Administrative/Provost/Provost/_Forms/Part%20Time%20Salary%20Schedule%2016.pdf Extended campuses is paying for almost 1,600 classes this spring, about 630 of which are being taught by part-time faculty. Of those 630 classes, 564 are three credits. So if we look at what the most common payments are for those three credit-courses, we find: Rnk ID Salary Total LVL 1 $670 2 $1,169 1 $1,754 1 ** $2,730 166 $453,180 $4,095 2 LVL 2 $1,169 1 $2,339 2 ** $2,940 112 $329,280 $3,150 11 $4,410 2 $4,725 2 $6,615 1 LVL 3 $1,169 1 $2,011 1 $2,339 1 $2,681 1 ** $3,150 82 $258,300 $3,360 1 LVL 4 $1,754 1 $2,339 4 $2,923 2 ** $3,360 167 $561,120 527 $1,601,880 AVG $3,040 If we multiply out the most common payment and then find the average of those, we get $3,040. On-campus, even if it’s different, won’t have as many classes as EC. So, I would use $3,000. Karen
