Top University of Montana faculty salaries exceed $100K

Sixteen of the University of Montana’s 41 academic departments pay top faculty salaries of more than $100,000, including eight departments in the humanities and sciences, according to figures provided by the school’s Office of Planning, Budgeting and Analysis.

Broken down by departments across campus, the figures represent a portion of the $78 million UM budgeted for instruction in 2013 – up from $69 million in 2010.

"We maintain that roughly 80 percent of the entire university budget is in personnel," said UM Provost Perry Brown. "It doesn’t give us a lot of wiggle room when looking at our budget."
