KSU Faculty and Academic Administrator Salaries
Each year the AAUP@KSU, with the assistance of the VPAA's office and the KSU office of Enterprise Information Management, provides a listing of faculty and administrator salaries at KSU.

Nota Bene: Most, but not all, faculty salaries given are 10-month salaries (Contract Type: Academic). The numbers are base salaries for the academic year, not including summer teaching, etc. On the other hand, most but not all administrators' salaries are 12-month salaries (Contract Type: Fiscal). To calculate comparable monthly salary numbers divide the Academic Contract numbers by 10 and the Fiscal Contract numbers by 12. But bear in mind that many faculty teach for additional salary during Maymester and the summer.
