Official academic salary schedule, full-time monthly faculty (tenure track and tenured), effective July 1, 2025, reflecting a 2.3% increase; board approved September 10, 2025.
Monthly amounts as printed on page 1, which applies to 10-, 11- and 12-month contract faculty paid 10, 11 and 12 payments per year respectively (so the annual salary depends on contract length). Page 2 (Schedule A) restates 10-month faculty over 12 payments and is not included.

Step 1-6 is a single row; maximum initial placement is step 14. Doctorate is a class (E), not a stipend.
- Soft spot: The unit is monthly and the multiplier to annual depends on contract length; no annual figure is printed.
