FINAL EXECUTIVE REPORT Dear Members of the College Audit Group: Introduction and Statement of Purpose A recent study has been performed to evaluate college performance levels in different regions of the nation. The country was separated into 9 regions and thirty colleges and universities were selected randomly from each of these regions to form the basis for this study. There is no reason to believe that the data collected from the colleges selected do not resemble the majority of the total colleges in each region. The data obtained from these colleges represented several variables; however, only a few will be discussed in this report. In this phase of the report, studies were aimed at evaluation different variable than that of the first phase of the report (Appendix); however, some findings in the first phase can be directly related to the findings of this phase. This phase of the study also places more emphasis on the public or private status of colleges rather than their respective division levels. For clarity however, the findings in the first phase will be reiterated here. The following report, which is supported by tables on the following pages, will briefly summarize the findings of this study. Professor Salaries The study showed that professors at colleges in the West and Northeast tend to have higher salaries than all other regions by $8,000-$12,000 and are well over the national salary average by $9,000. This also holds true for professors at Division I schools who make on average $12,000-$20,000 more per year than professors at Division IIA and IIB schools and have a higher average salary than the national average professor salary by $14,000.
