Faculty
salary information: 1997-1998
This is the text of notes on the
annual publication of faculty salaries prepared by the
Office of the Provost
Stanford has disclosed for many years summary measures
of faculty salaries to give faculty and administrators a
reasonable idea of how each individual's salary compares
with others, either graphically or in tables. This year,
the Provost's Office is publishing summary measures of
faculty salaries for academic year 1997/98 in tables.

Information:
The table shows
information separately by years in rank for each School
with further disaggregation to reflect the divisional
structures in the School of Humanities and Sciences and
in the School of Medicine. The 25th percentile, the 50th
percentile or median, the 75th percentile and the number
of faculty in the category are shown in each row. The
25th percentile is the level below which 25 percent of
the salaries of the faculty in the category fall.
(Conversely, 75 percent of the faculty members in the
category have salaries above this level.) The 50th and
75th percentiles are similarly defined for the category.
The salary figures for cases of small populations,
defined as fewer than eight faculty members, are not
shown to assure that individual salaries remain private.
The years in rank categories vary from school to school
to ensure privacy and meaningful group size.
The following notes explain the derivation of the
population of salaries.
The overall population consists
of the salaries of full, associate and assistant
professors who were members of the tenure line
faculty as of September 1, 1997. There are two
sets of tables for the Medical School faculty:
one for the tenure line faculty and one for
Medical Center Line and non-tenure line
(Clinical) faculty.
Non-tenure line (Applied
Research, Performance, Teaching, or Research)
faculty, Associate Deans in the Graduate School
of Business, and full-time administrators are not
included in the calculations.
Salaries in the School of
Medicine are on an eleven month basis. Salaries
for all other schools are on a nine month basis.
Salaries of those faculty members
in the School of Medicine who are Ph.D. holders
and who have appointments in departments that
fall in the divisions of Medical and Surgical
Sciences are included in the Basic Sciences
division.
Salaries for faculty members
(both M.D. and Ph.D. holders) in the School of
Medicine who have appointments in departments
that fall in the Medical Group, the Surgical
Group, or the Hospital Based Group include the
"x+y" components.
Salaries of faculty members in
the Department of Economics are grouped with the
School of Humanities and Sciences Natural
Sciences division rather than the
"home" Social Sciences division.
Faculty who hold joint
appointments across schools are reported in their
primary school.
Faculty in some schools had
significant professional experience outside the
University setting before coming to Stanford.
This experience was taken into account when
assigning years in rank for these individuals.
