Institutional money & structure
Teaching faculty = everyone matched to a taught section that fiscal year (Fall maps to the next FY); each person's full-year salary is counted once. Instructors not found in the salary data are excluded, so coverage varies by institution — see each institution's “About this data.” Per-department teaching salary is on each institution’s department page.
