8. Progress Attributed To: Competitive salaries for newly hired, especially at the assistant professor rank. Increased promotion increments, benefiting the associate professor and professor ranks. Across the board salary increases in 2013-2014 and again in 2014-2015. Merit/market exercise in 2013-2014.

9. Recommendations for Future Actions Gain a stronger grasp of the drivers of average salary increases at the associate professor and professor ranks. Continue focus on increasing faculty salaries, specifically for those faculty in the ranks of associate professor and professor to further close the gaps. Monies be allocated to meet the resolution prior to the goal date, to account for variability in reporting of the peer salary data.
