UNM working to close in on national average with faculty pay

Compared with other research institutions across the country, UNM faculty members are compensated less, and although there is no immediate solution, the University intends to continue to study and correct pay gaps with respect to national averages. According to an Office of the Provost report analyzing faculty compensation, 30 percent of UNM tenured and tenure-track faculty are paid “below the 25th percentile of the average of salaries at 76 other public research universities.”
