This study examined salary data for 369 college faculty in the administrative assistant and secretarial services field for both public and private institutions for the years 1995-1996 and 1998-1999. The study reflects data from the 279 public and 386 private institutions that participated in both study years. The study found that the average salary for faculty in administrative assistant and secretarial services for public institutions was 2.3 percent lower than the average salary for faculty in all major fields in 1995-1996 and 1.3 percent higher than the average salary for faculty in all major fields in 1998-1999. It also found that the average faculty salary for private institutions was 48 percent lower than the average salary for faculty in all major fields in 1995-1996 and 54.1 percent lower than the average salary for faculty in all major fields in 1998-1999. For the study period, administrative assistant and secretarial services faculty in public and private institutions received average annual salary increases of 2.4 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively, above the cost of living (as reflected by the Consumer Price Index).
