Faculty Compensation Committee (8 to 10-0-0)

The Faculty Compensation Committee advises the Provost and the Vice President for Operations on policies and procedures affecting faculty compensation. The Committee represents the interests of both full-time and part-time faculty. Areas of primary concern are salary schedules, leave pay, and benefits (such as health insurance, life insurance, retirement benefits, mortgage assistance, rental housing, child-care assistance, and children's tuition benefits).

Rules for election to the Compensation Committee

The six faculty members of the Faculty Compensation Committee (one tenured and one non-tenured from each division) are elected by the faculty from a slate of two persons nominated by the Steering Committee from each category. The Committee designates its own chair from among it members. The elected members ordinarily serve two-year terms. The election usually occurs at the April faculty meeting. In addition, two to four at-large members are appointed by the Steering Committee to ensure that disparate faculty interests and viewpoints on matters of compensation are adequately represented (e.g., part-time or retirement benefit concerns).
