Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS), 1980-1981: Salaries, Tenure, and Fringe Benefits of Full-Time Faculty

The Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS)
series was designed to provide comprehensive information on various
aspects of postsecondary education in the United States and its
territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
and the Marshall Islands) and Department of Defense schools outside
the United States. Data are available for both public and private
two-year and four-year institutions. The HEGIS Salaries component for
1980-1981 sought data from 3,269 institutions on the type and control
of the institution, and the number of employed personnel by primary
function and employment status. Key data elements, presented for up
to ten record types for each institution (corresponding to length of
contract and sex), include academic rank, number of faculty,
salaries, tenure status, and fringe benefits.
