Complete UUP's Salary Survey
United University Professions is committed to the existence of a fair and equitable pay system in the state of New York. To that end, UUP is conducting this salary survey to examine academic and professional employees’ work and salary history. The responses and comments in each section of this survey are critical to this inquiry into salaries for all UUP members. It is only through a complete study of current salaries of SUNY’s diverse membership that any problems can be addressed.
We appreciate your member’s input in this process. This information will be useful to ensure we protect against salary inequities through the State University workforce.
