Resolution from Academic Integrity Task Force - Senate document 04-01
      For Action

Report of the Senate Sub-committee on Compensations & Benefits
Professor Dobberstein                For Information

Professor Dobberstein reported that the subcommittee reviewed the salaries
and compensation report that President Jishke presents to the Board each year.
            The report deals with fiscal years 2002-03 and compares salaries for all employees.
It shows that for most employees the salaries have kept pace with most peer institutions
except for faculty. In 2002-03 faculty salaries were 3% lower than peer institutions. The
Jishke report reflects that there is much work to do.  Professor Boiarsky made a motion
that the sub-committee on Compensation and Benefits provide the full senate with report,
in March or April, and establish a reporting mechanism regarding the salaries through
the subcommittee.  Motion passed
Professor Dobberstein indicated that his committee wanted to know what steps have been
or will be taken for 2004 budget to address the downward trend of faculty salaries
from fiscal year in 2002-03.
The Chair turned gavel over to Professor Gregory to report that as a member of the
Agenda Committee has discussed the fact there has been a lack of presence of the Vice
Chancellor for  Administrative Services or representative at  the Senate meetings. 
This is an important link for information regarding budgets and services from that area.
            The Chancellor reported that detailed data does exist in Human Resources and is
available to everyone.  He will be willing to bring this information to the Senate and
share it openly as part of his report.

  The Chancellor also reported that the appointment for the Acting Vice Chancellor
  for Administrative Services is awaiting approval of the President.
