MLA Recommendation on a Minimum Salary for Full-Time Entry-Level Faculty Members
The Executive Council recommends the following salaries, to which an increase will be added each year in line with the federal cost of living index.
The minimum salary for full-time appointments at the entry level should be at least $77,000 for those at the rank of instructor and at least $85,000 for those at the rank of beginning assistant professor. Health care benefits and shared contributions to a portable retirement plan should also be provided. MLA salary recommendations represent a national average and do not take into account regional differences in the cost of living.
