Administrative Document 3: Salary Calculation Guidelines


(Previously Appendix 15: In development with Human Resources and Finance)

 

The Board of Trustees each year may designate a percentage of the annual budget to be used for cost-of-living adjustments, promotion and credential increases, and other awards. The Board of Trustees reserves the right to either approve or disapprove such adjustments or to delay them in any given year based on the financial condition of the University.

Salary increases at are made only upon the recommendation of the President in accordance with established policies and following consultation with the Deans, Division Chairpersons or Department Heads, Chief Academic Officer, and the Vice President for Operations & Finance, as appropriate.

No annual salary increase will be awarded to a faculty member with less than one academic quarter of service at the end of the academic year. Those faculty members fully employed more than one academic quarter but less than four academic quarters (College of Chiropractic) or three academic quarters (Colleges of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies) at the end of the academic year may be awarded salary increases. However, such increases shall be pro-rated on a basis reflecting the number of academic quarters completed.

The Board of Trustees approves a basis for salary adjustments. Individual faculty salaries are calculated by multiplying the appropriate college base salary figure times any applicable adjustments. The general formula is BASE SALARY x RANK ADJUSTMENT x EDUCATIONAL ADJUSTMENT. The current rank and educational adjustment factors for the Colleges are listed below.
