INTRODUCTION
In the beginning of December, 1973 we surveyed a group of community-junior colleges across the country for data on faculty compensation andinstructional load oolicy. Our purpose for collecting data at this parti-cular time was twofold. First, the reporting deadline for the AAUP surveywas December 1, 1973. Since the compensation data we requested were essen-tially the same as those called for by AAUP, institutions participating inour project could avoid duplication of efforts ay sending us a copy of theirAAUP report. Second, AAUP cannot publish the results of its own survey onfull-time faculty compensation until summer, 1974. We wanted to get anearlier start on assessing Cuyahoga Community College's relative positionamong institutions, particularly institutions similar to it, on the matterof full-time faculty remuneration. moreover, we were interested in obtain-ing information that Is not reported by AAUP, such as:
(1) Full-time instructional load nolicies
(2) The rates of remuneration for part-time faculty
(3) The institution's estimated 3ercent increase in averagefaculty salary used for budt-t planning
(4) Whether the institution's faculty participatesin collective bargaining
(5) Whether the institution's compensation agreement withfaculty includes a provision for a cost-of - livingadjustment.
SURVEY RESULTS
We contacted 34 community-junior college districts representing 79colleges and one college not representing a district. The districtscontacted were all those contacted for last year's survey but includedsome additional districts for which only a single member college was con-tacted last year. The community colleges had been selected in accordancewith the fnlilowihq criteria'
(i) Colleges were selected from the northwest, southwest,south, midwest, eastern, and northeastern sections ofthe country.
(2) Colleges were selected which were active in developingnew approaches to instructional problems; many aremembers of the League for Innovation in the CommunityCollege.
(3) Colleges were selected from long established as wellas "middle aged" and young institutions.
(4) Colleges had large and medium-sized enrollments.
(5) The colleges were mostly urbai colleges.

The numbers of respondents and nonrespondents are presented onTable I. Institut ons were asked to report the number of their full-timefaculty, their average 1973-74 full-time salary, fringe benefit and totalcompensation amounts, their definition of a full-time instructional loadin terms of credit hours and clock hours per week, and their means of re-munerating part-time faculty. In addition we asked respondents to indicatethc percent increases in average salary used for budget planning, the actualpercent general increase in average salary, the length of their most recentagreement on faculty salary, whether their faculty participate in collectivebargaining or If collective bargaining arrangements are being developed, andwhether a provision for a cost -of- living, adjustment is included in theircompensation agreement. Copies of their salary schedule and guidelines forplacing employees on the salary schedule were also requested. (See Appendixfor a copy of the questionnaire.)

*Four responses were received too late to Include in the followinganalysis. One late respondent indicated that salary and fringebenefit data were not available. The salary and fringe benefitamounts reported by the other three respondents were $15,216 and$2,850; $18,772 and $3,933; and $13,247 and $954.

SURVU RESULTS
Changes from 1972-73 to 1_973-74 in Full-Time Faculty Compensation
Table 2 presents data relating to the number of full -time facultyin each institution, their average salary, average fringe benefits, andaverage total compensation for 1972-73 and 1973-74. The rank order ofthe institutions reported in the left-hand column is based on total com-pensation, from high to low. Information on the estimated percent increaseused in budget planning, the actual percent general increase, collectivebargaining arrangements, cost-of-living provisions, and full-time facultyload policy is listed for institutions for which data were available.
Thirteen of 22 college districts on Table 2 reported compensationdata for both 1972-73 and 1973-714. For these 13 districts the averagecompensation for 1972-73 was $14,960, with a range from $10,752 to $19,500and a standard deviation of $2,569. The average compensation for 1973-74is $16,471, with a range from $11,836 to $23,116 and a standard deviationof $3,144. The unweighted mean difference for the two years represents a10.1 percent increase. One institution included in this calculation re-ported what appeared to be an extraordinarily high increase in the fringebenefit amount for 1973-74. They indicated that they may have definedfringe benefits differently for each year. Excluding this institution fromthe calculation resulted in an unweighted mean difference which representeda 9.2 percent increase.
In comparing the changes in average compensation from 1972-73 to1973-74 the reader should note that the two averages are calculated forfaculty group; which differ somewhat because some faculty included In1972-73 were replaced by new faculty in 1973-74 and some additional fac-ulty were added to most faculty groups. A substantial increase in newfaculty would tend to depress the percent increase in average compensa-tion, assuming of course that new faculty generally start in the bottomrange of a salary schedule.
We examined the percentage increases in salary for continuing facultyreported by eight districts and found a range of 7.0 to 14.1 percent withan unweiqhted mean of 8.9 percent. Continuing faculty were those facultymembers employed by the institution for both 1972-73 and 1973-74.
In comparing the rank order of colleges by average compensation for1972-73 and 1973-74, we observed that most Institutions (11) remained inthe same relative position while six institutions moved down one to threeranks and seven moved up by one to four ranks.

Relating Age to Compensation
The districts which responded to the survey are of varying age, asthe data on Table 2 indicate. We found a positive correlation betweenthe age of the district and the average compensation awarded to facultyin that district. As mentioned earlier in this report, the salarystructures of the districts reward longevity for faculty.
We calculated the ages of the college districts from the dates offirst classes as reported in the AAJC Directory, then correlated 21 col-lege district ages and average compensation for 1973-74. The average agewas 19.7 years with a standard deviation of 17.3 years. The average com-pensation was $16,124 with a standard deviation of $3,465. The correlationbetween age and compensation was .69.9
To help interpret the correlation, it mdy help to recall that if wewere to predict the average compensation of a college district knowingonly its age, our prediction would ue 28 percent closer to the actualaverage than if we didn't know anything but the average for all insti-tutions.
Another interpretation is that 43 percent of the variability inaverage compensation is associated with differences in the ages of thecollege districts.
The conclusion is, of course, that we would expect the average compen-sation of the districts to increase each year. The basic reason for thisis, again, that the salary structures reward longevity so that institutionsare "locked" into a somewhat predictable increase; but the financial sta-bility of well-managed older institutions probably contributes its influenceto the steady increase, too.
Changes from 1971-72 to 1973-74 in Full-Time Faculty Compensation
Table 3 summarizes faculty compensation data provided by seven districtsfor a three period, 1971, 1972 and 1973. The unweighted compensationmeans for the districts were $14,551 for 1971, $15,263 for 1972, and $16,892for 1973. The difference between the 1971 and 1972 means represented a 4.9percent increase while the difference between 1972 and 1973 amounted to a10.7 percent increase. The compounded rate of Increase for the two yearswas 7.7 percent.
The rank positions of the districts on Table 3 remained stable for thethree-year period with the exception of the fourth, fifth, and sixth rankedinstitutions whose positions fluctuated by one move up or down.
(aIn 1971-72 we computed a correlation of .63 for district age and averagecompensation. In 1972-73 the correlation was .43. The differences betweenthe coefficients are not significant.

Salary Schedules and Consumer Price Index
The salary schedules in this survey include a provision by whichfaculty are paid more for each year of service, up to some maximumpoint. Thus the average compensation of young faculty will increasefrom year to year, as a function of their experience, without anychange in the basic salary structure. With an average increment of4.2 percent it would require 17 increments to double a starting salary.The Consumer Price Index has been increasing enough in the 16 yearsfrom 1957 to 1973 (from 100 to 160) to cancel the effect of abouteleven of the 4.2 percent increments. Of course, colleges have grantedincreases in the basic salary structure in addition to the regular in-crements included in the schedule. In addition the percentages of sal-ary allotted for fringe benefit appears to have been increasing slightlyat most institutions. On the other hand such increases reflect cost in-creases for existing benefits as well as the cost of additions to fringeoackagnc.

With the questionable assumption that the actual rating: in 1974 -75
will he the same as the tentative ratings projected for 1974-75, to main-tain its place in the ratings a college rated between 1 and 2 in 197?-74would have to increase its average compensation by 12.6 percent in 1974-75,if the college would maintain it: position relative to a rating of 1. If
the same c:,lculation is related to a rating of 2, the college would haveto Increase its average compensation by 14.5 percent.
The Percent Increase in Average Salary Estimated fot Budget Planningand the Percent of General Increase in Average Salary
Eighteen district- and one college provided us with infor.atoh re-garding their eitimated percent i,lcree in average salary and the percentof general increase. The mean estimated increase reported was 7.0 percent,with a range from 5.0 to 10.00 percent. The mean general increase reportedwas 5.5 percent, with a range from 2.3 to 12.33. Ono district reported ageneral increase percent which exceeded the budget estimate by 3.33 percent.They explained that the budget estimate did not include facult\ step move-ment on the salary schedule.
The Len th of Term for the Last Salary Agreement
Most of the institutions (12 districts and 1 college) indicated thatthe length of term for their last agreement on faculty salary Wd one yearSix districts reported two-year agreements (four beginning in 1973-74 andtwo which began in 1972-73). One district reported a 3-1/2 year agreementwhich began in July 1973 and another district indicated having a three-yearagreement which began in 1972-73. One district reported "no agreement" andone district did not respond to the question.
Coilectivc Bargaining and Cost-of-Living Adju,,T...nt%
Seven institutions indicated that their faculty participate in collec-tive bargaining and 15 institutions reported that their faculty did not.One institution did not respond to this question. None of the institutionsindicated that they are developing collective bargaining arrangements.
Regarding the provision for a cost-of-living adjustment in the compen-sation agreement with faculty, seven institutions reported that such aprovision existed, fourteen institutions reported having no such provision,and two institutions did not respond to the question. None of the institu-tions indicated that they are developing a provision for a cost-of-livingadjustment.
Generally (6 out of 7) institutions reporting that their faculty parti-cipated in collective bargaining indicated that they did not have a provisionfor a cost-of-iivinq adjustment. Institutions without collective bargaining4ere fairly evenly divided with respect to a cost-of-living adjustment pro-vision; six reported having a provision, eight reported that they did nothave this provision, and one did not respond.
10
Instructional Load for Full-Time Faculty
We a.ked respondents to indicate their institution's policy regardinginstructional load for full-time faculty (see Table 2). Of thirteen dis-tricts with a semester calendar, three districts reported that they hadno policy w.rtaining to the number of credit hours per week required offull-time faculty. Seven district: reported a policy of 15 credit hours,one cited a range of 14-16, another reported 24 credit hours per year(12 per term), and one indicted that the number of credit hours variesby division.
Of eight districts with a quarter calendar, two reported having nopolicy. two districts cited ranges of 15-16 and 9-15 credit hours, twodistrict -: reported a range of 14-16, another district reported 39-47per year (13-16.67 per term), and one district indicated a policy of45 credit hours per year (15 per term). One district has 12-week termsand offers semester credit; their policy translates to 13.4-18 credithours per term.
Concerning policy regarding the number of clock hours per week spentin contact with students, three of thirteen "semester" districts reportedlaving no policy, seven cited 15 hours or less, two districts reportedmore than 15 hours, and one district indicated that the number varies bydiscipline. Of eight quarter-calendar districts, one cited no policy,one district reported a range of 12-18 hours, five districts reported15 or more hours, and one district indicated a policy of "no more than20 hours in a given quarter, nor 55 per year."
Salaries for Part-Time Instruction
Eighteen districts and one college provided information on the rateof remuneration for people who instruct on a part-time contract. Somedistricts reported a range of remuneration rates (see Table 4). In some
cases different rates were reported for lecture and laboratory hours.Where the distinction was male, we used the lecture hour rate; where nodistinction was made, we assumed that only one rate was in effect. Wecalculated the midpoint of the range. We had to translate the rates ofremunration into a common unit and chose class hours as that common unit.Then a rate that was so many dollars per quarter hour was changed to somany dollars per class hour. The reader will recognize that the assump-tions underlying the procedure are highly questionable. Nat all collegeson a quarter system hvte the same number of class hours per credit hour.Not all of the possible rates in a range of remuneration rates are usedin an equal number of c)rtracts, so the midpoint of the range is only agross approxi.lazon of the average r.muneration rate.
Our formula for converting semester hou- rates assumed 17 weeks ofclass neetines per semester, with one hour meeting per week to earnone semester hour. For quarter twur crnverslon we assumed 11 weeks.
11
We used this same conversion procedure in last year's report. Thisyear we asked respondents to indicate whether :ast year's converted ratefor their in,,titution was an accurate or distorted reflection of tie datathey had submitted. Eight districts reported "accurate," two said thatwe had "distorted" their data, and one district reported "don't know".One district did not respond to the question. Based on these results,we proceeded to use our conversion procedure for 17 of the 19 districts.We requested suggestions from the two districts which had indicated thatour procedure should not be applied to their data. Data for one of thesedistricts were excluded altogether since the amount reported, we discovered,represented the rate of remuneration for non-credit part-time instruction.The institution could not provide either an average rate or a range ofrates for part-time faculty teaching credit courses.
The average rite per :lass hour was $14.46 with a standard deviationof $3.81. The average compensation for full-time faculty in these insti-tutions* was $16,116 with a standard deviation of $3,063. The correlationwas explained by differences in average compensation of full-time faculty.In the way of predicting the part-time rate from the average compensation.our prediction from the average compensation of a college district wouldbe 22 percent better than a prediction made knowing only the average part-time rate for the group of districts. In other words, we found some rela-tionship between the compensation paid full-time faculty and the remunerationrate for part-time faculty.** Of course there are other influences on part-time rates, such as the availability of people qualified'to serve as part-time instructors, the nature of the program for which part-time instructorsare employed, and the history of part-time remuneration within the collegedistrict.
For a description of the 19 institution responses, we chose a quarterhour base. When translated into quarter hours, part-time remuneration ratesrange from a low of $102 to a high of $297. For 19 institutions the averagewas $159 per quarter hour with a standard deviation of $42. Table 4 showsthe distribution of institutions by quarter-hour rate of remuneration forpart-time faculty.
For 11 districts reporting part-time salary data for both 1972-73and 1973-74, the mean quarter hour rate for 1972-73 was $157. Themean for 1973-74 was $159 per quarter-hour. The two dollar differencebetween the means (1.3 oercent) indicates that remuneration rates forpart-time instruction have remained essentially the same for the two-year period.
*One of the 19 institutions was excluded from the calculation of thecorrelation coefficient since total compensation data were not available.
* *In 1971 -72 we computed a correlation of .41 between part-time remunerationrates and average compensation for 16 districts. In 1972-73 we computed acorrelation of .50 for 21 districts. The differences between the coeffi-
cients for three years are not significant.

10-B. In reporting last year's data on part-time rates of remuneration we usedthe following procedures in an attempt to achieve comparability of dataamong the institutions responding:
1. In cases where different rates were reported for lecture and labora-tory hours, we used the lecture hour rate; where no lecture/labdistinction was made, we assumed that only one rate was in effect.
