 Alarmingly, my research indicates ATHEN’s 2008 survey (<a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fitd.athenpro.org%2Fnode%2F87&data=02%7C01%7Cdavid.engebretson2%40wwu.edu%7C15f298c61da3438cef1d08d65c8298d8%7Cdc46140ce26f43efb0ae00f257f478ff%7C0%7C0%7C636798113314608707&sdata=lMJ0laEooyHb6tgYNmqO5mB45k2lYbVNwVIlE7bT1KA%3D&reserved=0">https://itd.athenpro.org/node/87</a>)
 seems to be the most recent study of its kind that attempts to gather compensation\salary information specifically for access technologist positions in higher education.

 entitled “Careers in Accessible Technology in Higher Education: Salaries, Qualifications, and Responsibilities” seems to be the “Staffing and Salaries” portion of the survey, but published separately. Unfortunately, my HR Department has deemed Study #1 invalid
 for its purposes due to its relatively low sample size (1 Texas respondent), and its survey of posted job announcements rather than actual participants.
