senate chair report
Chair Daniels explained that the special meeting was called to provide information about SB433 and to seek ideas to present to the Regents its June 18th meeting. The meeting will not have any action, thus not requiring a quorum.
SB433
Chair Daniels provided explanation of how the forthcoming bill would provide budget cuts and impact classified and professional employees from the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE).
As stated in the bill, The Board of Regents of University of Nevada, shall determine and implement the method by which, A) the professional employees of NSHE will participate in the furlough requirement pursuant to this section, or B) the overall cost for the professional employees of NSHE will be reduced in an amount at least equal to the savings which would have otherwise been produced by furlough leave pursuant to this section.
Chair Daniels continued to explain that the bill states that all do not have to take furloughs, and all do not have to take pay cuts. It has been left to the Regents to determine how to participate in furloughing. The legislature did specifically state that a 4.6% savings must come from the salary fund but has left it to the Regents to make that determination. The Regents are seeking and has encouraged ideas from all institutions within the system.
Chair Daniels advised that he sent the following ideas to Executive Committee and the other Faculty Senate Chairs:
No state contributions or matching funds to retirement accounts for a year or two. This would be a savings of 10% per year. This idea did not receive senate support due to the fact that retirement accounts have been previously set-up;
Community colleges would take one step back on the pay scale, but maintain your steps, etc. This would glean a large savings.
Go to .9 3 time or 2 time, something distinctly less than 1.00 time, FTE reduction. It would allow everyone to keep their step increases, but a less of an income reduction would be felt.
Teach one additional class per semester, 3 credits or more, that would have been taught by an adjunct instructor.
For A contract people, they could work a certain amount of hours for free, thus equaling the furlough amount. A committee has been formed and labeled as the SWAT Team.
Chair Daniels provided what was ratified by UNLVs Faculty Senate. It reads as follows:
1. The integrity of the code must be protected. It was agreed by other senate chairs that the code should not be changed to accomplish the one particular goal to reduce faculty salaries.
2. Each institution should be encouraged to develop a clear budget plan before any program termination, salary cuts or separation of professional can be demonstrated as necessary.
3. In developing a budget plan for each institution, preserving the core mission of each institution must be the priority. To preserve curriculum without losing programs when possible at all times.
4. Institutional autonomy offers the best and most practical way for colleges to solve the current budget shortfalls. It was felt that implementing cuts should be left on a institutional level. UNR agreed to this and other institutions were in the process to agreeing to. It was stated by John Filler, Chair of Chairs, that a single plan with one option only will not work for everybody.
5. The long term viability of the colleges should not be compromised this would include recruiting and retaining quality faculty.
CSN and UNLV suggested that faculty members at the low end of the pay scale be given a lower percentage cut compared to those at the higher end of the pay scale, they would receive a higher percentage cut.
Chair Daniels further explained what was proposed by community college presidents and is appearing on the Regents Agenda as Item #28. It states, To suspend step increases for all faculty for two years.
Chair Daniels advised that the Senate chairs would be presenting all of the above ideas. He requested hearing any ideas that GBC might have to add.
It was questioned, if by forgoing the step increase of 2.5% for two years, would it be sufficient? Chair Daniels said no and explained there would not be step increases or merit raises, plus there will be at least a 4.6% net cut imposed.
The overall body did not feel comfortable providing a list of recommendations. It was thought that the initial decisions would come from the Regents and its legal counsel. Chair Daniels reiterated that the Regents were asking for ideas from all institutions.
Patty Jones reported that K-12 was requested to take a 6% pay cut but 17 counties chose not to take the cut through salaries but through other savings.
Chair Daniels reminded that SB433 does allow for other ways, other than cutting individual salaries, to meet the 4.6% shortage.
It was questioned due to the loss of a step increase, how would this affect everyones PERS. Chair Daniels stated that there was provision written into the legislation that PERS and PEBS would not be affected by the cuts. However, the base salary would stay flat set-out by the Regents.
Without further input the special meeting of the faculty ended at 2:42 p.m.
