About
University of Vermont (UVM) faculty compensation records span a twelve-year period from 2009 to 2021, offering transparency into public higher education remuneration. The data includes two distinct sets of information derived from publicly available documents: a raw compilation of base pay across all parsed years, and an enriched dataset that maps faculty members to specific departments and colleges. This resource enables the analysis of salary trends, job title progression, and financial disparities within academic disciplines over time.
Columns
The dataset contains the following variables across two files:
- Year: The fiscal or academic year of the record.
- Faculty Name: The full name of the faculty member (Last Name, First Name).
- Primary Job Title: The official role or rank held by the individual (e.g., Professor, Lecturer).
- Base Pay: The annual salary amount, stripped of currency symbols.
- Department: The specific academic or administrative unit (available in the enriched file).
- College: The broader faculty or school abbreviation (e.g., CAS for College of Arts and Sciences), available in the enriched file.
Distribution
The data is provided in CSV format.
- File 1 (Raw): Contains approximately 47,479 rows of salary data extracted directly from PDF sources.
- File 2 (Enriched): Contains 14,470 rows where faculty names were successfully matched to 2020 department codes.
- Supplementary File: A data dictionary interpreting the 12 unique college abbreviations is included.
Usage
This dataset is designed for exploratory data analysis (EDA) and academic research. Ideal applications include:
- longitudinal Salary Analysis: Tracking changes in base pay for public university employees over a decade.
- Gender or Departmental Equity Studies: Investigating pay gaps between STEM fields (e.g., College of Medicine) and the Arts & Humanities.
- Career Progression Tracking: Analysing the time required for promotion from Assistant to Full Professor.
- Workforce Trends: Quantifying the reliance on lecturers versus tenure-track faculty.
Coverage
- Geographic Scope: University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont, USA.
- Time Range: 2009–2021.
- Demographic Scope: Full-time faculty and staff. Note that the enriched dataset (with Department/College columns) relies on a 2020 faculty directory, meaning it excludes individuals who left the university prior to 2020. Administration personnel may not be fully represented in the enriched view.
