Ballpark salary is generally discussed prior to on-campus interview, but in your institution who makes the actual salary offer to the successful candidate in a tt search? Dean or Chair?

My place it's the Dean, although the Chair can make a recommendation the Dean if there's something special about the candidate.

Here, the Chair makes the offer - the Dean is in the background calling all of the shots.

Chair runs back and forth between candidate and Dean.

Here the Dean does, but we're a SLAC, so the Chair has no real power. The Dean is, however, running back and forth to the VPAA in our version of the Chair-Dean dance that happens at larger schools.

From a job-seekers' perspective: in my four on-campus interviews this year, three times (State Us), they said the offer would come from the chair; once (SLAC), that the offer would come from the dean.

Dean. At my (small) school, chairs aren't told from above what their faculty make at any time.

At the risk of derailing, could you explain a bit more about that Gonehiking? I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must be to produce a sensible departmental budget if you don't know what you're paying for your major cost base. How can you ever know whether your department is financially viable or not (which is a rather important piece of information at the moment)? |

Wegie, I'm going to guess that the salaries are not part of the department budget. They're not at my small school; there is a central faculty/staff salary pool managed by someone in administration.

At my school and in my department, the chair makes the offer to the candidate but it is discussed and between the two with the dean making the final decision on the offer. M _C |

At my institution it is the Dean. The Dean does all this but he or she does talk with the Vice-Chancellor/Provost if there are issues or other things going on. The chair of the search committee has no role, and that is a good thing, in my opinion. I have chaired three searches now and I would not enjoy that part of the process. I have also chaired the department and would also not enjoy discussing salaries for a tt candidate.

Why is it brand new members go back and periodically resurrect old material but say nothing new?

Can posters clarify whether they are talking about unionized campuses, where the salary scale is in a negotiated contract and the only wiggle room on salary is how much experience is counted so that the specific 'step' on the grid is negotiated? Or are you all talking about places without any set negotiated salary scale? '
It makes a difference in terms of the importance of negotiating salary levels.
