7. Appointment, Promotion, Academic Freedom and Tenure –
Stephen Francis, Chair
PPM 8-11 Recommendation
Current PPM 8-11
Recommendation on PPM 8-11 Evaluation of Faculty Members, Section III. Tenure
Review, added to Subsection D. as follows:
The recommendation of the Faculty Senate Salary, Benefits, Budget, and Fiscal
Planning Committee regarding the disposition of the 2% increase in money
allocated by the state for base salaries is:
1)
The full 2% increase in salary funding shall be applied as a cost-of-living
increase to all faculty. This will not be regarded as a merit increase,
however, Deans may exclude faculty with documented unsatisfactory performance.
2)
None of the 2% base salary increase funding will be assigned for merit
increases.
It
is further noted that the 7.3% increase in the cost of medical coverage for
2017-17 will be offset by an additional $775K allocated by the state for that
purpose. This increase amounts to approximately a 1% increase in total
compensation.
The Performance Salary Increase addresses merit increases at some level. The Performance Salary Increase along with the increases related to advancement in rank represent approximately a further 1% increase in average faculty salary.
