Unit Publications
Unit Publications include brochures and manuals created by the Univerrsity Human Resources and its predecessors to assist employees in making decisions regarding health care, disability, and retirement. A variety of reports are also included, among them a 1997 self-assessment which explains how the various offices merged under the broader Office of University Human Resources.
Although produced by a number of differently titled organizations within and outside of the unit, the statistical resources included here contain salary and staffing figures and tables. The key publication is the annually published Analysis of Salaries Paid to the Instructional Staff. Based on fall term data, this publication analyzes current salaries of the university's instructional staff by department and within the department by rank. The analysis is complete from 1960 to the present. Beginning with the 1989 - 1990 academic year graduate teaching assistants were included. The analysis lists the number of persons at each rank or level with mean, median, minimum and maximum salaries and their average age. The survey also incorporates the Dearborn and Flint campuses in its analysis. The Office of Faculty and Staff Statistics also publishes Comparative Instructional Salary Data, which compares the salaries of the university's academic departments with those of other universities around the country. This publication is a compilation of data extracted from the Big 10 and AAU data exchanges and surveys conducted by Oklahoma State University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The data is based on the fall term and an academic (nine-month) year.
