Arts and Sciences Faculty Will Receive Salary Raise

All men under the Faculty of Arts and Sciences will receive substantial pay increases next year.

The Corporation has approved a flat $500 pay rise for all instructors, assistant professors and associate professors, it was learned last night. The governing board has also voted salary increases for full professors, subject to individual negotiations, and to all teaching fellows, depending on the amount of time devoted to actual instruction.

Adhering to past policy, the University has released no statement pertaining to the new salaries. But it is understood that the Faculty of Arts and Sciences first learned of the impending increase at its meeting on March 1.

Under the present plan, all tenure and non-tenure men, with the exception of certain full professors, will receive substantially the same flat $500 increase for teaching full time.

Teaching fellows alone will receive less than $500 and have been voted a maximum $400 annual pay rise for full teaching loads. Most fellows, however, instruct only part time, and will receive pay increases in proportion to the amount of time they instruct. All full professors will negotiate individually for salary raises.

As in the past, each man under the Department of Arts and Sciences will continue to receive a $200 pay increase each year he instructs at Harvard.

In the future, an instructor will receive $4,500 base pay instead of the States he is now paid each year. Added to this figure will be the $200 yearly increase until he is either promoted or his appointment dropped.

Similarly, assistant professors will receive $5,500 base pay instead of the present $5,000 salary.
