MEMORANDUM

To: Dean, Director, or Chair
From: Timothy W. Sineath
Subj: Confidential Faculty Questionnaire
As we did last year we’re using a
slightly different method of survey instrument distribution from that used in
previous years. The editors of the
ALISE statistics are distributing the confidential part of the faculty survey
that gathers salary and other faculty data along with the other parts of the
ALISE statistical questionnaire. As in
the past confidentiality will be preserved and the editors will forward all of
the confidential data to me separate from the other parts of the survey. In order to preserve confidentiality, I am
following the practice of the past in gathering salary and other faculty data. Only I will see these data. However, COA is now asking that this
information be submitted along with the rest of the ALISE statistics report as
your report to COA. If you do not wish
to have the salary figures included on the copy you send COA, you may delete or
cross out that column of information. I have enclosed the form on which you are asked to record
information that pertains to faculty.
Please note that your report should show your anticipated full-time
faculty strength on January 1, 2000.
Guidelines for the completion of the report as well as a sample form are
enclosed. Please read them carefully
and respond accordingly.
Thank you for your continuing
support of this project. ALISE now has published salary and other faculty data
for more than a decade, and its value is evident to all who have occasion to
use it. So it is essential that we have full reporting from all schools. This could not be done without your help, so
thank you in advance for your assistance, and be assured that the
confidentiality of these data will be preserved.
Editors Note:
Please remember to send
the completed form to the survey editors at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill in a separate envelope from the rest of the survey by Oct. 15, 1999. Also remember to send a separate copy
directly to COA.
If you have questions
about data recording please contact Tim Sineath.

your school. Thanks
GUIDELINES FOR COMPLETING INDIVIDUAL FACULTY
DATA FORM
FULL-TIME
FACULTY
l. List academic rank and, when applicable,
the title of each full-time faculty member on the faculty of your school
expected on January 1, 2000. Begin with the deans, directors, or chairs. Then,
arrange the rest of the faculty IN
ORDER OF RANK: Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor,
Instructor, and Lecturer. If you use other titles, such as "senior
tutor," for example, please use the most equivalent title from the above
list.
Only FULL-TIME MEMBERS of the faculty, including administrative
officers holding academic titles, should be included. The academic rank of
deans, directors, assistant deans, etc., should be added after their executive
or administrative titles (e.g., Dean/Professor).
Part-time faculty. Library and information studies librarians, even thought
they teach part-time or have academic title, should not be included. On the other hand, faculty who give their
full time to the school, even though
their salaries are paid from a different budget (e.g., full-time
faculty paid from the president's discretionary fund or by an outside agency) should be included.
2. Salary.
This figure should represent the actual gross salary of the individual for
the appointment period shown in the next column of the form. Do not include fringe benefits
in this figure. (Every faculty member's financial status is enhanced by
institutional contributions to retirement funds, insurance, health benefits,
etc., when some schools add these to the salary information requested here, the
salary rates are distorted).
3. Appointment
Period. This information should be given as either academic year (AY) (9-10
months) or fiscal year (FY) (11-12 months).
4. Tenure
Status. For most schools the answer will be either yes or no (i.e., tenured
(T) or not tenured (NT)). Schools using concepts such as "continuing
appointment" or "security of appointment" should equate these
with tenure.
5. Please indicate the sex of each faculty member.
6. Please indicate the actual degree, Ph.D., D.L.S., Ed.D., etc.
7. Indicate the discipline in which the highest degree has been earned.
8. Ethnic
origin. For the purposes of this survey, five categories are used, as
defined by the Department of Labor. Please use the following symbols:
AI - American Indian or
Alaskan Native
AP - Asian or Pacific
Islander
B - Black
H - Hispanic
W - White
The U.S. Department of Labor's
definitions of each of these categories is attached.
9. Age
category. Please use categories below.
Base on the faculty member's age as of January 1, 2000.
Under
25 50-54
25-29 55-59
30-34 60-64
35-39 65-69
40-44 70 -
45-49
10. Year
of appointment to the full-time faculty at your present institution. The
year given should represent the point at which a faculty member became
full-time even though that individual may have had a part-time appointment
earlier. For deans and directors the
date on which he or she became the school's chief executive officer is
requested in addition to the date of
appointment to present rank.
11. Year
of appointment to present rank. This should be the year that this
appointment or promotion became effective.
PLEASE NOTE: For schools that have
"distinguished" professors or have multiple rank full professors,
please use the date when promoted to full professor, not the date promoted to
"Professor II" or
"distinguished" professor.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR DESIGNATIONS
The
Department of Labor uses the following five categories: American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, Black,
Hispanic, and White.
These
categories have been defined as follows:
American Indian or Alaskan Native
- A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North America, and
who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliations or community
recognition.
Asian or Pacific Islander
- A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East,
Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent or the Pacific Islands. This area
includes, for example, China, Japan, Korea, the Philippine Islands, and Samoa.
The Indian Subcontinent takes in the countries of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh,
Sri Lanka, Nepal, Sikkim, and Bhutan.
Black, not of Hispanic Origin
- A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.
Hispanic
- A person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other
Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race. Only those persons from Central
and South American countries who are of Spanish origin, descent, or culture
should be included in this category. Persons from Brazil, Guyana, Surinam, or
Trinidad, for example, would be classified according to their race and would
not necessarily be included in the Hispanic category. In addition, the category
does not include persons from Portugal, who should be classified according to
race.
White, not of Hispanic Origin
- A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North
Africa, or the Middle East.
