I have no idea why they're using "average full professor salary" as a proxy for comparison, since full professors are a tiny minority of faculty.


Presumably because Deans are about the same level as full professors? I doubt that a fresh PhD would be appointed a dean anywhere.


Full professors are a tiny minority of faculty, but they're the ones with experience and job tenure comparable to deans.


That'll probably depend heavily on the department and the school.
