The average full-time professor, the Associated Press reports, makes $101,500.

Joan DelFattore, president of the university’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors., says the higher salaries are the result of the union’s mature bargaining relationship with the school, and that the union aims for fair raises that keep the university competitive.

$136,300 for full professors
$92,000 for associate professors
$77,900 for assistants
$60,800 for instructors
