Faculty Salary Comparison Studies
CFT's comprehensive comparisons of full-time and part-time salaries in the community colleges

Post

Each year the CFT Research Department provides a comparison of faculty salaries in the 72 districts of the California community college system (no faculty salary information is provided for Calbright). 

FULL-TIME

For full-time faculty, we compare five points on each salary schedule. We rank districts on each of the points and calculate the average, highest, lowest, third and first quartile salaries. 

PART-TIME

For part-time faculty, our intent is to offer a like-for-like comparison of all districts based on an hourly rate. We choose five data points, but they vary slightly from those analyzed in the full-time report. We then compare these results to full-time salaries by calculating an adjusted hourly rate based on full-time salary.
