- AdvanceVT Work/Life Policies : Summary ReportAdvanceVT (Virginia Tech, 2010-11)AdvanceVT’s 2008 Faculty Work/Life Survey showed that 59% of tenured and tenure-track faculty members at Virginia Tech believe it is difficult to have a personal life and earn tenure and 48% feel that their family responsibilities have slowed their career advancement. Female faculty members indicated that they have considered leaving the university in order to obtain better career opportunities for their spouse or partner (43%), as well as to achieve a better personal/professional balance (50%). To address these university-wide concerns, AdvanceVT has led the development and implementation of new and revised work/life policies, educated the university community about the availability of these policies, and created a dual-career hiring assistance program.

- Salary Equity Study 2010Virginia Tech. Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness (Virginia Tech, 2010-08-03)As part of the ongoing AdvanceVT program, Virginia Tech conducts salary equity studies on a regular basis to determine sources of variation in faculty salaries. This year’s equity study, conducted by the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness, analyzed salary data from December 2009 to reflect a timeframe similar to the previous studies. Considerable attention was paid to race/ethnicity as well as gender as factors in explaining variation in salaries. As in the past, the analysis was completed using the Paychecks1 methodology of using multiple regression techniques in which factors that are expected to affect pay are analyzed for their ability to explain variation in salaries. This report is a summary of findings of this study of factors affecting differences in faculty salary for tenured and tenure-track instructional faculty at Virginia Tech.
The report proceeds with an explanation of the variables considered in the analysis, a description of the population involved in the study, a summary of the models generated in the analysis, an interpretation of the results, and some known short-comings of the report dealing with data quality issues. - Virginia Tech Faculty Perceptions: The 2012 COACHE SurveyAdvanceVT (Virginia Tech, 2013-12-12)COACHE Survey Overview

- Academic rank - Virginia Tech Instructional Faculty Salary Equity Study 2014-15Durodoye, Raifu; Bush, Kristen; Pleitz, Jacob (Virginia Tech, 2015-11-20)The Virginia Tech Instructional Faculty Salary Equity Study was modeled after similar analyses conducted at like institutions. In both of those cases, the linear regression analyses approximated a methodology recommended by NSF and developed by AAUP (Paychecks: A Guide to Conducting Salary Equity Studies for Higher Education Faculty, by Lois Haignere, AAUP, 2002). In the Virginia Tech study, the regression analyses were supplemented with a hierarchical analysis that incorporated nested information (a faculty member is in a department and that department is in a college). The intent behind this multi-pronged approach was to support a more holistic understanding of compensation patterns at Virginia Tech (VT).
One-thousand three-hundred fifty-four full-time tenured/tenure-track instructional faculty were included in the analysis. Instructional faculty on leave without pay, or not working in academic departments were not included in this population. Nine-month equivalent salary was the independent variable in the models. Gender, minority status, years at Virginia Tech, years in rank, rank, and department were the primary factors considered. From the analyses, we were able to conclude that as mediating factors are introduced into the models, the influence of gender, as well as race/ethnicity, on salary seems to dissipate to negligible levels. In addition, years at Virginia Tech, years in rank, rank, and college seem to be the best predictors of salary.
