Most of the surveys produced are compiled by sociologists at major universities across the country. The researchers usually send question- naires to deans and faculty in various specialties, asking them to rate dif- ferent departments in their fields. rhe Besi For instance, in a survey published in the Chronicle of Higher Education last 20% January, social scientists Everett Ladd 22% and Seymour Lipset reported that the 13% University ranks fourth overall among 11%/ 6% U.S. colleges. The study, which in- volved questioning more than 4,000 6% faculty members in four-year colleges, 3% examined 19 academic departments among those schools. Fifteen University 2% departments ranked in the top 11 in 0% their respective categories. 1% A 1974 SURVEY taken among deans of U.S. professional schools ranked the 0 five most outstanding professional schools in each of 17 fields. The survey, is being completed by sociologists Peter Blau sl of gand Rebecca Margulies, ranked the ncle of Dental School and the public health school first in their respective fields. The library science school and social work school were each tied for second and the School of Music and the Law School ranked third in the nation. Surprisingly absent from the top of each list was the Medical School. Traditionally ranked as 'one of the leading medical schools in the country, the school has fallen in recent years. Many allege the drop in the ranks is due mainly to the deteriorating condition of University Hospital. "The facilities are obsolete," said Vice President for University Relations and Development Michael Radock. He added that when researchers and scien- tists are not attracted to the University, the school's reputation is affected. The Medical School does still remain fairly high in the ratings, however, according to University officials. RATINGS COMPRISE a valuable source of information to corporate recruiters, who come to universities to offer both graduates and un- dergraduates jobs, according to Virginia Stegath, communications coordinator for the Career Planning and Placement Office. "Among the Midwest institutions, we do better than a lot of schools," Stegath said. "We fare very well with' recruiters." University officials say most of the surveys fairly accurately reflect the University's position compared to other academic institutions. One of the s Best The Best Harvard U . . . . . . . 89% 39% 9.

The Univer- sity must present a pay-scale com- parable to that of other leading in- stitutions. "High salaries can't buy quality," Shapiro said, "but high quality costs.a let." SOME FACULTY members and ad- ministrators also mentioned the lure of the Ann Arbor community itself. "The city offers a lot culturally and' socially," Political Science Depar- tment Chairman Samuel Barnes said. Barnes also stressed the significance of faculty salary levels. "Certainly we don't have the highest paid professors in the country, but it's very important we maintain competitive as far as salaries are concerned," he said. The following list divides the instruc- tional staff at the University into five basic categories, with the average salary for each position as of the 1978-79 school year. " Professors-$31,147. , " Associate Professors-$22,50. " Assistant Professors-$17,548. *Instructors-$14,224. * Lecturers-$14,432., IT SHOULD be noted that there are great differences 'in pay between many of the colleges, schools, and depart- ments at the University. For instance, the average salary for a full professor in the School of Nursing is only $24;297, professors in the School of Dentistry receive, on the average, a salary of $49,434. In relation to other universities in the country, University of Michigan's pay- scale ranks near the top of all publicly sponsored post-secondary institutions. However, some private universities, such as Harvard University and Stan- ford University, pay their full professors between $2,000 and $5,000 more than their University counterpar- ts receive. } "CERTAINLY IT is a disadvantage to have lower faculty salaries than some private schools, and we have significant problems in that area," Shapiro said. "There is always some danger that we won't be able to continue to offer competitive salaries." But some faculty members said the salary situation is a good one and that other factors are more important in luring good professors to the Univer- sity. MUSIC SCHOOL Dean Allen Britton said the reputation of the school itself is an overriding factor in recruiting good teachers. "We feel we have the finest music school in the world. We hire the best there is-those with the best reputations in teaching," said Britton. "But money or no money, you can't get good faculty without good students." Once at the University, faculty mem- bers establish reputations in their field primarily through research and activity in professional organizations. "PROFESSORS here are expected to contribute to the creation of knowledge and to establish original, innovative research," Barnes said. "Only people at the frontiers of knowledge can be good teachers." "The~ only way to acquire a reputation is through writing books, in- volvements in associations, and through original research," Barnes said. "RESEARCH IS extremely impor- tant in sociology and we have some of the finest reseachers in the country," said Sociology Department Chairman Reynolds Farley. "Prof. Charles Tilly has a large reputation in work on special organizations and Prof. Robert Cole has done some excellent research on Japan." While a great number of faculty members received degrees from the University, many are "recruited" from other leading institutions in the coun- try. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California (Berkeley), Harvard University, and Yale University, are some of the schools from which many University faculty members have received degrees. But some students at the University complain that lower level cour- ses-those aimed primarily at fresh- persons and sophomores-are often poorly taught, even though the 'professors may be highly rated in their fields. "r ACTUALLY think the math and physics teachers I had at first were pretty lousy," said engineering senior Todd Mapes. Valerie Farnan, an LSA senior majoring in mathematics, agreed with' Mapes. "But I'd say in general, they (University faculty) are as good as they are rated," said Farnan. re n:. F f a once you find this store, you're set for anywhere on earth!
