These rankings are based on data about college professor and faculty salaries at each institution. Faculty who earn higher salaries tend to be more tenured, so colleges and universities with higher average salaries is often seen as an indicator of higher academic strength. But, this ranking can also be affected by other factors -- such as the presence of a medical school or other high-paying faculty positions.
