Last analysis for 2013-2014 — started process with this AY

Limits on Data/Data Use

Cannot identify any institution (except Rice)Cannot identify any person by virtue of low number of faculty in a specific categoryNeed to coordinate cost-of-living analysis with year used for effective analysis Architecture and Music schools determined that comparatives were not necessarily AAU institutions

Will pursue independent analyses

Can join future AAUDE analyses

Analytical Process

Examined each School as an entire entityExamined two departments within Schools with departmentsLarge departments were utilized to ensure anonymityNormalized AAUDE average salaries to Rice=1

Note that AAUDE does not provide median or standard error information

Introduced cost-of-living correction for each institution based on zip code-specific information provided by AAUDE (=COL-adjusted salaries)

Compared COL-adjusted salaries for Rice separately to private and public institutions

Placed Rice salary in quintile groups for ease of comparison and generated graphical representations
