 * Start placing this information here.

​This link provides mean faculty salaries for full professors, associate professors, assistant professors, and instructors at universities throughout the country. The data are aggregated (but searchable!), so it's not possible to identify mean social work salaries at non-public institutions. However, it may be helpful to people who are negotiating at non-public universities that are not required to report individual faculty salaries publically.

 * Seems like a lot of their reputable researchers have left in the past few years.  Does anybody know what's going on there?
 * My friend is a doc student there.  It is a very research intensive university - a lot of pressure to publish and get grants.
 * I've also heard of a number of cases of their better-known researchers getting offers from private universities that the NC state system just can't match, so leaving for that reason.  I've heard that if you like working and have fundable research, it's a great, supportive place to work, but because it's a state university in a state that is not funding higher ed at the same level that it used to, successful people get snatched up by others schools and Carolina just can't compete with the offers that they get.
