Information Regarding Faculty Pay Increases

Nontenure-track faculty. A promotion and raise system has been in place for our full-time nontenure-track faculty (NTT) for a number of years. During the past three years, the impact of the NTT promotion system (excluding the Stritch School of Medicine) has resulted in the following:

 

• 62 NTT faculty were promoted with an average pay increase of $2,000/ 9-month annual contract
• 36 NTT faculty on one-year temporary appointments were appointed to full-time NTT multi-year renewable contracts
• 24 part-time faculty received appointments to full-time NTT multi-year renewable contracts

Part-time faculty.  Beginning July 1, 2017, a teaching stipend increase of $200/course was implemented for all part-time faculty, except those in the College of Arts and Sciences, who are part of the SEIU Local 73 and are currently engaged in a collective bargaining process.  Implications:

 

• 500 – Part-time faculty who received an increase for Fall 2017
• $300,000 – FY2018 estimated university investment in enhanced stipends for part-time faculty

Annual merit-based salary raises. All Nontenure-track faculty, including those in the College of Arts and Sciences, are evaluated annually for merit-based salary raises. During the past three years, (FY 2016-2018):

 

• 2.5-3.0 percent – average merit raises for NTT faculty  
• $850,000 – University investments in NTT merit raises
