<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif">I have heard that there are questions from academic unit heads. This email is meant to clarify.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif">We have been advised by UA human resources that we should not change “standard” MME processes due to the OFCCP audit that Heather mentioned in prior emails. We are following the process that was
used in FYs15 and 16. FY17 did not have a standard faculty MME process because it was pre-empted by the University’s mandated and broad-based process for all employees, not just faculty.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif">The standard process is where unit leaders submit nominations using the
<a href="https://cals.arizona.edu/cbs/policies/merit-market-equity-mme-adjustments">
form</a> and supporting documentation of faculty members who have sustained and meritorious performance, or who have compelling market compression cases. These nominations are discussed by EC and advice given to Dean Burgess who makes a final decision.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif">Unfortunately, the UA and CALS have conflated the definitions of merit, market, and equity for years. Since 2014, CALS has had standardized definitions for these definitions that are referenced
in the policy at the hyperlinks above and below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

</span></span><![endif]>The table in Heather’s email below says “FY17” because this is the budget that is available for FY18 faculty MME adjustments. This specific budget category must fund in advance of the effective date of payout. Approved salary adjustments
will be effective with the beginning of FY18 (July 1), but the funds will be committed next month.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">Over $220,000 of the FY17 budget has already been invested in faculty salary adjustments. The table below with remaining balances was communicated in response to unit head questions last week.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">The policies for promotions and the MME “standard” process have been documented for years in the policy section of the Business Service’s website, hyperlinked here for your reference:

<![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>All funds in the MME pool have gone to faculty regardless how they are described (M, M, or E). If there are no equity adjustments or a smaller number of retentions, for example, the balance is immediately available for faculty merit.
A specific example this year is that the number of promotions (a form of merit) were greater than in prior years. The money spent on promotions, which has been prioritized by the college and automated through process, lessens the pool of funds available for
other merit adjustments.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">Carving out a pool for merit would not inherently increase the amount of merit money available for faculty adjustments. The only way to do this is to increase the funding to all salary adjustments.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

</span></span><![endif]>At May 9, there was a recommendation to increase the “merit pool” to a total of $500,000. Again, there has never been a distinct “merit pool.” Operationalizing this request would mean the college would increase the MME pool by approximately
$170,000 ($500K - $333K). The decision to do this is up to the Dean. He is weighing all recommendations and competing priorities. A final decision on budget is not expected until June 5 following the last EC meeting of the fiscal year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif">As you all saw on May 9, budget decisions and tradeoffs are required – the college does not have the budget to do everything that was requested.

</span></span><![endif]>The Provost’s Office has asked for input to provide to President Robbins regarding year 2 of the mandated, broad-based merit/market adjustment. I am budgeting for something in January of 2018, but this is still an unknown in both approval
and date.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>You are asked to submit nominations (using the hyperlinked process) by May 31 for faculty who rise to a demonstrable level of sustained meritorious performance, that are supported by your APR scores, or who meet established market bases,
such as compelling levels of compression.</b> Numerous reasons can lead to market disparities. You are advised to carefully assess the strengths of your submissions.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ignore the budget when making your nominations. The numbers should not negatively anchor your views, and budget decisions have not yet been decided by the Dean. This doesn’t mean submit every faculty member for an increase. Submit those
nominations that are strongest and are compelling based on your analysis and the supporting documents.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Obviously, EC and the Dean are bound by budget (once the final budget is determined). Depending on the quality of the submissions and the number of them, it is likely that not all requests will be able to be approved this year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This dialogue reminds me that full transparency is not easy, simple, or clean. As one of our organizational values, transparency requires we be prepared to get our hands dirty in the process of making sausage. I apologize in advance for

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">1. Each CALS Unit Head was allotted a dollar amount for merit & market salary increases for faculty & staff in Teaching & Research (T&R) and in Extension.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">2. The merit & market amount allotted to each unit was proportional to the unit’s budget, as determined by Jeff Ratje.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">4. CALS determined equity adjustments for tenure-track and continuing-track faculty.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">5. Written justification from Unit Heads was required only for adjustments less than $500 or greater than $10,000.<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Because the amount allotted for Extension in (1) was disproportionately low compared with T&R, Unit Heads were able to request funds for Extension salary increases in addition to
the funds allotted in (1).<o:p></o:p></p>
