Today, the AAUP released the Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession, 2025–26.
It is sobering.
Full-time faculty salaries are down about 0.4% in real, inflation-adjusted terms. Average full-time faculty salaries remain 9.5% below fall 2019 & about 5.8% below fall 2008.

This year's Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession finds that faculty salaries are still losing ground to inflation and expands data collection on part-time faculty pay.
Congratulations to Maryland United Acadmics AAUP-AFT for their big win on collective bargaining rights for non-tenure-track faculty!

@csncoyote.bsky.social reported salaries to the AAUP survey in 2024-25 but not this year. The other NSHE community colleges have not responded to the national survey despite a legislative letter of intent several sessions ago asking the Board of Regents to do so.
Sometimes folks toss around the idea of a 'faculty lounge' as shorthand for a disconnected elite. Here's the reality: there's no lounge and most college classes are taught by underpaid adjuncts and graduate students.

Congratulations to our union siblings in the administrative and clerical positions of Nevada state gov on their decision to form a union with AFSCME 4041 in Nevada today! They’ll be working on a collective bargaining agreement…and we hope to follow their lead soon! UNR is a unionizing campus!
Good morning Bluesky from the independent voice of the faculty at the University of Nevada, Reno! We’re organizing to defend higher education, academic freedom, and an accessible university that empowers students and faculty. The Wolf Pack works because we do!
. . . to ensure faculty *and graduate assistant and all professional employee* collective bargaining rights are in statute . . .
Sobering. At Nevada's two R1 doctoral universities, @unevadareno.bsky.social and @unlv.edu, nominal average salaries for all faculty ranks actual declined by 0.7% from 2024-25 to 2025-26. After inflation, salaries are down by over 4%. Falling behind again.
