Do you deserve the FAM raise? And can Miami afford it?
FAM’s pay proposal was developed and costed out by a team including tenured professors in Finance, Economics, and Mathematics alongside a former chair of the Senate Faculty Welfare Committee. It is informed by research into contracts in Ohio and across the country, legal advice, and expert guidance from from national negotiators from AFT and AAUP with decades of experience.
Faculty have endured inflation of 23% over the last five years and have been undercompensated for many more. Miami can and should pay you fairly!

Pay calculator notes
• These salaries are estimates based on the latest proposals and are subject to change over the course of bargaining. • Faculty have 9-month contracts and librarians are 12-month employees. • You can enter any pay into the calculator, but check your email for your most recent appointment letter as they were not posted to Banner this year. • Rank minimum salary notes: The rank minimums listed below are not included in the calculators. To estimate, the proposed minimum rank salaries apply after a promotion raise is granted. Example: A $65,000 salary raised to associate professor is $75,000. This is boosted to $80,000 to meet the rank minimum. Then annual raises are added to the salary.
