        DATA TAPE AVAILABLE ON FACULTY SALARIES, TENURE,
              AND FRINGE BENEFITS IN POSTSECONDARY
                    INSTITUTIONS FOR 1990-91

The U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES) announces the availability of the data tape for
the survey "Salaries, Tenure, and Fringe Benefits of Full-Time
Instructional Faculty," for academic year 1990-91.  This survey,
part of the 1990 Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System
(IPEDS), includes salary data representing a select universe of
3,581 institutions that (a) are accredited at the college level
by an agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education; or
(b) grant a bachelor's, master's, doctoral, or first-professional
degree.

The tape contains data for a universe of 2,198 4-year schools;
1,366 2-year schools; and 17 less-than-2-year schools in the 50
States, the District of Columbia, and the outlying areas.  The
tape includes the following data by institution:  number of full-
time instructional faculty; total salary outlays; and number of
tenured faculty, by contract length (9- or 12-month), sex, and
academic rank.  The tape also includes fringe benefit
expenditures and number of faculty covered, by length of contract
and type of benefit.

This third IPEDS salary survey had an overall response rate of
79.8 percent. NCES imputed data for institutions that did not
respond.

A subset of the schools on this tape are the 3,341 institutions
of higher education accredited at the college level by an agency
recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education.  These
institutions were previously surveyed under the Higher Education
General Information Survey (HEGIS), which IPEDS supersedes.
These schools are identified on the data tape to allow for the
continued analysis of higher education trends.

For more information about the IPEDS salary survey, contact
Patricia Q. Brown, Postsecondary Education Statistics Division,
(202) 219-1593.

The tape with documentation is available for $175.  Payment may
