*Includes professional researchers, research assistants, postgraduate researchers, physical education instructors,
acting instructors, lecturers other than those with security of employment, visiting professors, visiting astronomers,
visiting agronomers, librarians, specialists, and those with 'recalled' in their titles, and most other academic
title codes except those in the ladder rank faculty.
The table reflects the most recent information on projected future range and merit/pool increases for 1998/99 and beyond. Based on the most recent faculty salary survey, the final faculty salary 'catch-up' increase will be made in 98/99, after which salary parity will be attained and the normal cost-of-living adjustments reinstated.
Funds to support the staff employee incentive awards will continue to be budgeted as part of employee fringe
benefits, as described in Contract and Grant Memo 96-08. A copy of this Contract and Grant Memo has been transmitted
to the Division of Cost Allocation, HHS Region IX, to satisfy the requirement that the University notify its cognizant
agency of changes in the University's salary projections.
