Every year Bob Jones University has to tell the Dept of Ed the other schools against which it compares itself. For the fiscal year ending 2019, BJU compared itself against the following:

Anderson University (Anderson, SC)

Appalachian Bible College (Mount Hope, WV)

Baptist Bible College (Springfield, MO)

Carolina University (Winston-Salem, NC)

Cedarville University (Cedarville, OH)

Charleston Southern University (Charleston, SC)

Clarks Summit University (Clarks Summit, PA)

Covenant College (Lookout Mountain, GA)

Erskine College (Due West, SC)

Faith Baptist Bible College and Theological Seminary (Ankeny, IA)

Faulkner University (Montgomery, AL)

Limestone University (Gaffney, SC)

Maranatha Baptist University (Watertown, WI)

Newberry College (Newberry, SC)

North Greenville University (Tigerville, SC)

Presbyterian College (Clinton, SC)

Regent University (Virginia Beach, VA)

Samford University (Birmingham, AL)

William Carey University (Hattiesburg, MS)

Winthrop University (Rock Hill, SC)

Wofford College (Spartanburg, SC)

The DoE then compares the data each school self-reports against that school.

And on the average Bob Jones University's faculty members make 75% of all the other benchmark schools--$0.75 for every dollar. And that's down a penny from last year. Here's the overview:

So the average salary for a Bob Jones University faculty member in the fiscal year 2019 was $40, 678.

This is down from the previous year. While BJU's benchmarks raised its average between 2018 and 2019, Bob Jones University paid their faculty less by $504.

Less.

This is Bob Jones University.

But wait--BJU alumni always respond--Greenville is cheap. The cost of living is low there. THAT is why BJU pays its faculty so little.

Think again.

Greenville is 10% cheaper than the average cost-of-living in the United States writ large.

But the average salary in Greenville county is $62,000. That means that BJU faculty members earn $0.66 for every dollar their neighbors earn. That's down 13% from the previous year.

Bob Jones University is paying even less than ever!
