INTRODUCTION

The Administrative Salary Survey is a project directed by Oklahoma State University’s Office of Institutional Research and Information Management. This survey was initiated by the Office of Institutional Research at the University of Arkansas, and was most recently published by the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment at the University of Alabama. The inspiration behind the project emerged from the desire for current salary information for high-level management positions within universities. The result is a study that higher education administrators and government officials can use for salary decisions.

A select group of institutions and system offices who have participated in previous years was contacted to provide salaries for a broad range of management and mid-level positions typically found in higher education. No salary is identified with a particular school or system office, but the top 40 individual salaries are displayed and ranked from highest to lowest for each position. Median and average salaries are computed for all institutions as a group as well as for subsets of institutions and personnel arranged by Carnegie classification, by campus structure, by geographical region, etc.

This is the first year for publishing the survey results in this format. Two separate sections are included, one with universities only and one with higher education system offices only. University data displays one position per page with aggregate statistics displayed for subsets of institutions and personnel. System office data displays three positions per page with aggregate statistics displayed for only three subsets of personnel.

We welcome your suggestions as we begin our work to make the survey a more useful tool.
