FACULTY SENATE
GREAT BASIN COLLEGE
December 11, 2009
This year, the salary schedule was suspended. The time is approaching when the system would normally set the schedule for coming years. The Chancellor has asked the community colleges to examine the possibility of moving away from the current salary schedule and toward the merit system that is currently used by the universities.
According to the article Faculty Compensation Systems: Impact on the Quality of Higher Education,
Higher education institutions in the United States compensate faculty with one of three types of systems:
(1) the contract salary system (CSS), wherein each faculty member negotiates his or her annual salary with the employing institution (Beaumont, 1985, p. 3). A CSS is often referred to as merit pay;
(2) the single salary schedule (SSS) based on an officially specified salary for each academic rank. It includes a fixed schedule of salary steps within each rank and a normal, time-in-step specification for each salary step (Beaumont, 1985, p. 3); or
(3) a non-traditional faculty compensation system which includes any compensation system other than a pure SSS or pure merit system.
How might a merit system work?
According to the chairs of the universities, ranges are set for faculty at different academic ranks. A faculty member could be hired by the college at any salary within the range without seeking a variance from the regents.
Currently, everyone who is judged to be Satisfactory or better is also judged to be meritorious. Everyone who is meritorious receives a 2.5% annual increase. This would be different under the merit system.
Typically, the college would assign a committee to oversee the distribution of merit pay. Each year, the committee would rank the faculty based on whatever criteria the college assembles. Faculty receiving a specified rank or higher would obtain a one-time-only salary bonus. This salary bonus may differ from faculty member to faculty member.
According to the chairs at UNR and UNLV, merit pay at their institutions does not get added into the base salary and is a flat amount rather than a percentage. They recommend that should we adopt the merit system, we should change these details so that merit pay is added into the base salary (up to the maximum for the range), and that merit be figured as a percentage rather than a flat amount.

The regents approved the proposed changes to the English and Math placement policy. GBC will not have to make large changes because this institution was already using scores that were supported by research.
Regarding the potential for a special session of the legislature to make further cuts to the budget:

The system was asked to put forth scenarios for making a 1.4% cut this year and a 3% cut next year. However, the Chancellor stated at the regents meeting that it would be impossible to meet the states deadline of December 15th.
If a special session is ordered, it will either come very soon (most likely prior to the second week in January) or at some time before June.
The governor also has the option of making use of a $150B line of credit that could be used as a loan to the state to make up for the current shortfall.

The regents voted 10-2 AGAINST allowing for exemptions in furloughs for non-state-funded faculty. Chancellor Klaich supported the action.
