Current Issues at Pitt New: The average 2011-12 salaries of male and female faculty at Pitt and each of the other 34 public AAU universities is now available for viewing and downloading as Excel and pdf files on our Pitt Salaries Vs AAU Peers Page. On April 5, 2012, the University of Pittsburgh suspended admissions to its graduate programs in Classics, Religious Studies and German. A Pitt AAUP investigation concluded that this was done without adequate consultation with the chairs of these departments, or review by the relevant Arts and Sciences and Planning and Budgeting committees, as mandated by the University's 1995 Guidelines for Review of Academic Planning Proposals. Pitt AAUP sent its conclusions to the University Times (May 17, 2012) and to Provost Patricia Beeson in a letter dated May 10, 2012, which you may read by clicking this hyperlink: May 10 Letter to Provost Beeson.
These graduate program suspensions have not been
lifted, nor is it clear that the 3 affected departments will survive, as
discussed in a follow up Pitt AAUP letter to the University Times (December
6, 2011). Faculty and students need to voice their support to
Provost Beeson for re-instatement of the graduate programs in Classics,
Religious Studies and German, or these and possibly other as yet
unidentified graduate programs at Pitt will soon be history.
