QUESTION 3: Please describe the knowledge or standard you used, if any, to determine your previous answer. For example, did you compare your current salary to the CUPA-HR standards, the AAUP faculty salary survey data, or another source of information?
Sixty-four of the 67 faculty members (95.5%) responded to this question. Table 3 presents a summary of the sources according to how frequently they were mentioned. Percentages in the table do not sum to 100% because many faculty members mentioned multiple sources of information in their responses.
These data indicate that just over half of the respondents (53%) based their opinions about the competitiveness of Kentucky State University salaries on CUPA-HR standards, which is consistent with previous institutional practice. Other commonly used information sources include the annual AAUP Faculty Salary Survey and other online sources, and comparisons with other institutions.
