No. 345. Survey of professional compensation by employing institutions.

The Commission issued an advisory opinion with respect to a proposed survey of certain professional compensation in employing institutions. The applicant proposed to conduct a survey of employing institutions by means of a questionnaire to ascertain the compensation being paid to specified professionals. Respondents to the questionnaire would not be identified. The results of the survey would be reported as national and regional averages and they would be published and distributed to the trade and public press. No conclusions would be drawn nor would recommendations be made.

The Commission advised the applicant that implementation of the proposed course of action in the manner described probably would not violate any of the laws administered by the Commission. (File No. 693 7113, released May 5, 1969.)
