As previously announced, efforts this past year by President Dynes, members of the Board of Regents, and many others throughout the UC community have resulted in the adoption by state leaders of a new state budget that reflects the critical importance of continued state funding for UC salaries. 

 Faculty salary program

With only a few exceptions, academic appointees who are not exclusively represented will receive a 2 percent range adjustment, effective October 1, and special adjustments will be made for a number of selected academic categories.

Members of the Non-Senate Instructional Unit have agreed in bargaining to the 2 percent range adjustment. Salary adjustments for members of the Librarian Unit will be subject to bargaining, which is currently in progress.

Staff salary program

A merit funding pool of 3.5 percent for unrepresented staff employees will be effective as of October 1 and will be distributed according to local compensation programs. Funding will also be available to address significant individual market parity and equity issues at the discretion of each location.

Salaries for represented employees are governed by collective bargaining agreements.

Specific 2005-2006 salary plans will be announced at each location.
