Common use of INITIAL SALARIES Clause in Contracts

INITIAL SALARIES. 31.1 Salaries for initial contracts to a proposed faculty member will be recommended by the Chairperson of the department in which the proposed faculty member would belong, after consultation with the members of the Department. In making the recommendation, the Chairperson will consider existing salaries and ranks within the Department as well as in the University in general so that new appointments do not result in the creation of inequities. If the Administration disagrees with the recommendation of the Department Chairperson, it will explain, in writing, the reasons for that disagreement. The Department will reconsider its recommendation and the Department Chairperson will submit either a new recommendation or reasons for maintaining the original recommendation. The Administration will attempt to avoid creating additional inequities by appointing faculty members at salaries that are too high or too low for the appropriate rank and experience.
