A brief description of the standard(s) against which compensation was assessed:
We used 120% the 2014 Federal Poverty Guideline for a Family of 4, which comes to $28,620 annual salary. Although we looked only at benefit-eligible employees (those working 0.50 FTE or greater), we did not account for the value of their benefits. We then ran a report for all civil service and academic professional employees in this category, to see how many earn less than that. All faculty were already known to earn more than that. No academic professional employees earned less than the minimum.
