Good Afternoon,

So many people have contacted me as a result of my request for salary
information that I think we as a list serve should do an informal survey
every year and share the results via a posting on the NCURA and SRA
websites.  It would be "unofficial" but very useful, I think, especially
if we put our collective heads together in designing it.  I suggest
using something like Survey Monkey.  It could be anonymous if people
preferred.

Following is the list of things that I would like to know:

# of students
# of faculty
$$$ in research funding
Medical school or not
Region of the country (west coast, west, mid-west, southwest, etc.)
Urban, suburban, or small college town.
Organizational Structure
 Pre and post separate or combined
 reporting lines
# FTE professional in pre and post or combined
# FTE support staff in pre and post or combined
# FTE professional departmental administrators
Title/level for reporting structure
 for example:  Vice provost for research, director, assistant
director,              research administrator, support staff
Salary range for each title/level
 I think this should be the hiring range if the position would be
vacated
 or maybe both: hiring range and level of current occupant

What do you think?   (or have I had too much sun?)
