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 category Need 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 entity Examined two departments within Schools with departments Large departments were utilized to ensure anonymity Normalized 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
