<p>Could you provide the source? The CHE gives different figures for 2003-2004. Assistant profs salaries are listed at $60.4k, which is still high by most colleges. Since assistant profs can only stay at that level for 4-5 years, it somehow seems unlikely to me that they could jump to 92k. Associate profs at Swarthmore are listed as eaning $76k. This is the level where most profs will end up for the rest of their career.<br>
Professors’s salaries at universities with professional schools are inflated by the salaries profs can command at these schools. In other words, a Prof of English does not earn as much as a Prof of Law unless s/he is a star.</p>
