May 2, 1983
Resolution:  The University Affairs Committee moved the adoption of the following Resolution and Recommendation
 WHEREAS, the Interim Report by the ad hoc Committee on Allocation of Salary to Unclassified Personal illustrates significant disparities as shown in comparison studies on salaries and teaching faculty ranks; in the aggregate, salaries for administrative positions at Fort Hays State University are 7-10% above average median values for public universities with similar budget size, enrollment, and geographic location (Table 1 and 2 interim report); while on the other hand, faculty salaries at FHSU for all ranks are significantly lower than salaries for the same ranks at other AAUP 2A institutions (Figure 2, Interim Report); therefore, be it
 RESOLVED, That the Faculty Senate believes that these inequities mjust be corrected and that improvement of salaries for teaching faculty is absolutely essential.  We earnestly propose that salaries for teaching faculty be increased to levels comparable ot at least the average level of other AAUP 2A institutions.  One way to accomplish this would be to distribute salary raises to administrators and faculty differently from what has been done in past years.  Any method to accomplish this should begin at the earliest opportunity and  continue until salaries for teaching faculty are at the same relative level as salaries for administrative positions, when compared to public universities with similar budget size, enrollment, and geographic location.
RECOMMENDATION:
 Salaries of administrators at Fort Hays State University be frozen immediately and be maintained at existing level until such time as the Faculty salaries achieve the same relative level as salaries for administrative positions when compared to institutions of our size, budget and geographical region as indicated in the study.
The Resolution and Recommendation were passed without dissenting votes
