ADMINISTRATIVE SALARY STUDY
Academic Year 2015-16
The attached community and technical college administrative salary report is designed to
provide information for campus use in setting salaries for exempt and mid-level administrators.
The report includes brief survey position descriptions developed by the College and University

Sciences); 304300 (Associate/Assistant Dean Nursing); 406105 (Web Graphics Designer);
414120 (Student Housing, Residence Life Officer); 423150 (Title IX Coordinator); and, 449110
(Event Coordinator).
The attached report includes the following additional information that may be useful to
colleges in setting individual salaries:
A. Reporting relationship.
B. Years of service in present position.
C. Substantial other duties in addition to those listed in the CUPA survey position
description. (It should be noted that the salaries of some positions having unique
combinations of duties may be shown under more than one CUPA title in this
report.)
For the survey report, information was collected via a web-based reporting system completed
by each district. Salaries were reported as of March 1, 2016.
Salary data is not included for the few classified employees who may have duties similar to
those listed in this report. Salaries for classified employees are under the jurisdiction of the
