These institutions are included in the column, however. Data are weighted by the number of faculty per institution. Prior to 2016 17, weighted averages were used in the national tables of average salary and compensation. Unweighted averages were used in 2016 17 and in the original tables for 2017 18. These final tables for 2017 18 use weighted averages. 16 MARCH APRIL 2018 ACADEME 2018 American Association of University Professors 2018 BULLETIN 59
