Harvard has maintained its AA rating for faculty salaries, according to the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). Harvard is one of thirteen institutions in the country which received A ratings for the salaries paid full professors.
Two years ago, Harvard's rating dropped from AA to A because it failed to meet minimum requirements for associate professors. It regained its high rating last year, when the University instituted a $500 salary increase for associate professors.
The AA ratings given to institutions whose salaries for all teaching ranks meet average and minimum AAUP figures. It requires that full professors receive a minimum of $13,700, associate professors a minimum of $10,210 assistant professors $7,830, and instructors $5,000.
