I am a full-time Full Professor at a small Christian college in Appalachia, with terminal degrees and over 30 years of continuous teaching experience. My compensation includes a base salary of about $73,000 and on-campus housing with utilities, but no retirement contributions and no health insurance. I am seeking general benchmarks for how this package compares with similarly situated full professors at small Christian or comparable private colleges in financially similar regions.

Its an educational institution.... why the hell do they not have a 403B plan setup?

like

Can’t help here but shocked they don’t offer health insurance as well.

I have to 3nd specialist 1s remark.... I'm questioning if this is really a credited educational institution or if OP got bamboozled into thinking they work someplace legit..

like

Its a legitimate accreditation. Should mean the college in question does qualify as a non profit education institution and does qualify for a 403B plan... I'm completely bent sideways over their lack of benefits and low salary for a professor... Even most technical colleges have better base salary and benefits... honestly it may be time to start shopping around for a new employer.

This is not what you asked (because I don't have an answer for that), but is the on-campus housing paid for? If so, could you put the money you would have been spending on rent towards your retirement fund and/or health insurance?

Editing to add: Wait, I just noticed the 30 years continuous teaching. Was it at this college or a different college? If different, do you have any retirement funds from that position?

Yes. All the years at the same place. And no, cannot save up, At the momemnt, I am the only bread winner in a family

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
