Sanders used faculty salary data provided by the American Association of University Professors and cost-of-living numbers from the American Chamber of Commerce Research Association (ACCRA). But for those cities for which ACCRA did not have cost-of-living estimates--about one-fourth of the list--Sanders extrapolated data from surrounding communities.
