New Membership Levels

SALT previously based its fee structure on income. In response to concerns that the income-based structure required the release of private information, we are pleased to report that we have revised our membership structure to protect private salary information. The new SALT membership structure is based on position within the academy.

$ 55 Fellows and visiting assistant professors
$ 75 Adjunct faculty and retired teachers
$ 100 Non-tenure track faculty, librarians, academic support, and staff
$ 125 Tenure track faculty
$ 150 Tenured faculty and senior administrative personnel
$1200 Lifetime

SALT membership is on an academic year basis. Sign up today and your membership will run through August 31, 2014.
