Meeting 8--Dec. 9, 1988
Motion to amend current merit award program, submitted by Ralph
Gabrielli.
MOTION (failed with 12 ayes, 14 nays)
=======
The UAF Faculty Senate moves to amend the current financial award
program as follows:
(( )) = deletion
CAPS = addition
A financial award program recognizing faculty for meritorious
performance OR IN SUPPORT OF PROPOSED PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES
OF MERIT shall be instituted based on the following principles:
a) A fixed number of awards shall be given within each College or
School based on the total number of full time faculty members
(or equivalent).
b) Awards shall be ((made in the form of a bonus check)) of
substantial amount (say $1000 or $2000) annually (not a
continuing percentage increase).
c) The method of nomination of award recipients, criteria for
awards, and the selection of recipients within each College or
School shall be determined by a committee of four faculty
members nominated and elected by the faculty within that
College or School, and one student from that College or School
appointed by ASUA. Awards shall be made by the cognizant
dean from a pool of funds provided to the school or college by
the Office of the Chancellor.
EFFECTIVE: Upon Chancellor's Approval
RATIONALE: This amendment would permit the faculty of
a school or college to go ahead with an award program in
precisely the manner originally set forth, it would also
give the faculty in each school and college the option of
using the funds to underwrite or help underwrite small
proposed projects. In the latter case, incentive is
encouraged and the criteria could be designed to
encourage collaboration. The proposed amendment
simply authorizes, rather than mandates, such an option.
The words "made in the form of a bonus check" assume a
program of awards to individuals and are not compatible
with the proposed option; however, the deletion of those
words does not prevent bonus checks from being
awarded, if a particular faculty chooses that route. If
the motion is silent on that matter, it would be
internally consistent with whichever option a faculty
might choose.
If the amendment is approved, the three principles set
forth in the motion would apply to either option chosen
by a faculty.
