Ball State approves pay raises for professors

Posted: Updated:
MUNCIE -

Ball State University trustees have approved a 3.5 percent increase in salary funding for faculty and professional staff.

The increase will take effect July 1.

The Star Press reports trustees approved the increase Friday following complaints about comparatively low pay and unequal raises for faculty compared with those for the president and athletic director.

A national survey published by the American Association of University Professors and The Chronicle of Higher Education put Ball State's average salary of $85,000 for a full professor in the bottom 5 percent compared to similar schools nationwide.

Last summer, trustees increased President Jo Ann Gora's salary by 10 percent, from $392,040 to $431,244. Trustees on Friday approved a salary of $235,000 for new athletic director William Scholl. His predecessor had been paid $185,840.
