Before completing the order form, please note our policies on purchasing access to the Faculty Compensation Survey data:

1. AAUP chapter leaders, AAUP state conference officers, and AFT local presidents can request data access free of charge for their business purposes. A chapter leader, state conference officer, or local president should complete the FCS data order form and be sure to specify the name of the organization and the person’s role in organization. We do not freely provide third-party access or generate reports for institutions through the request of a chapter that are not for chapter business.
2. Institutional research offices and human resource offices should purchase access to the data or reports that are for institutional use.
3. We do not sell data or FCS Results Portal access to those without a higher education institutional, governmental, or nonprofit affiliation.
4. We do not provide the complete data set (i.e., the Excel files) or FCS Results Portal access to students for course projects. The publicly available reports provide access to the data for course projects.
5. Faculty members, graduate students, or academic staff who have an established research area in higher education labor issues, on a case-by-case basis, may be allowed access to FCS data for noncommercial research purposes without charge if they are AAUP members with a research interest demonstrated by past research activity and area of expertise.

The 2023-24 AAUP Faculty Compensation Survey data costs $1,500 for participating institutions and $2,250 for nonparticipating institutions and includes the products listed below. These prices are all inclusive, so one or all of the products may be requested for one flat cost. Payment can be made by credit card, check, or purchase order. Data will be released once the payment has been received, if applicable. Orders for current data (2023-24) may be made here:

Once we have received your order, the AAUP Research Office will generate an invoice and provide payment instructions, if applicable. We will typically respond to your order request in 1-2 business days, but please see here for current availability (there may be weeks, especially during the summer, when turnaround will be longer).
