Senate Reference No. 06-3

Question Time

In an effort to improve administrative accountability towards the faculty, I have the following questions concerning faculty increments made last spring:

1.         Of the increment monies distributed by the Deans and yourself, how many faculty received increments in each of the 2 categories (compression and special merit) and what was the total dollars distributed in each category?

2.         How many faculty were recommended to the Deans, by Departmental Chairs, in each category?  How many faculty received funds from the Deans, and how many were recommended for consideration by the VCAA in each category? How many faculty were either rewarded and/or recommended for consideration by the VCAA who were not recommended by the Chairs in each category?

3.         How many faculty were recommended to the VCAA by the Deans in each category?  How many faculty received funds from the VCAA in each category?  How many faculty received funds from the VCAA who were not recommended by the Deans in each category?
