The Purdue Exponent is publishing the Salary Book, more properly known as The Annual Report of Names, Positions, Departments, Percent Effort, and Compensation of Public Employees in the Employ of Purdue University, in tomorrow's edition. I think this is a great idea, however I suspect it will be very divisive. Faculty tend to be an egocentric lot.

I had been contemplating scanning the entire Salary Book for some time, but I never found the time. After all it is 335 pages long. You can see my early efforts on my home server (which is not located on any university machine).
