The AAUP dataset for the ASA Statistical Graphics Section's 1995 Data Analysis Exposition contains information on faculty salaries for 1161 American colleges and universities. The data may be obtained in either of two formats. AAUP.DATA contains the raw data in comma delimited fields with a single data line for each school. The order of variables is the same as given below for the fixed column version, although the spacing varies for each school. AAUP2.DATA has the data arranged in fixed columns, with two data lines for each school and a maximum line length of 80 characters. This dataset is taken from the March-April 1994 issue of Academe. Thanks to Maryse Eymonerie, Consultant to AAUP, for assistance in supplying the data. Faculty salary data are for the 1993-94 school year.
