We therefore said an RAT score of 14 was “equivalent” to an SAT-V of 260. 1). We repeated the process above for every 5th percentile point to create an “equi-percentile cross-walk” between the two tests. 1). Finally, we ran two checks on the accuracy of the links: (1) that there was a strong linear relationship between an imputed SAT score and its corresponding FSAT score and (2) that the cross-walk and regression equation was stable.

At equivalent grades, faculty salaries are the same in the community and senior colleges, for engineers, economists, philosophers, and poets. Neither scholarly productivity nor market demand makes a difference in the scale.

These problems have grown more serious in recent years because faculty salaries at CUNY have not kept up with inflation, declining (in real dollars) by 9 percent to 13 percent (depending on rank) between 1990 and 1997.
