Supplemental Compensation

Faculty

Faculty may receive supplemental compensation in return for accepting special responsibilities that significantly increase the time and effort required of them, in contrast to the time and effort required of their faculty counterparts who do not have such responsibilities. Such additional responsibilities may involve traditional faculty work or administrative responsibilities pursuant to concurrent administrative appointments or pursuant to special assignments. Faculty salary increases and supplemental payments to faculty are appropriate only under limited circumstances.
