FHSU-AAUP Article IX: Salary Generation

Meeting and conferring over salary generation is time specific. Salary Generation recommendations must be made prior to the Kansas Board of Regents consideration and approval of the Kansas Board of Regents’ budget request at the regular June meeting of the Board in any year.

The timelines are:

October 1: FHSU-AAUP will submit to FHSU a written salary generation proposal, including independently verifiable information, statistics and other supporting materials with reference to current, objective, and credible facts.  The parties understand that statements of opinion, including those regarding salary levels and quality of teaching will not be effective in attempting to generate salary dollars for future years.

December 30: FHSU will provide a written response to the proposed salary generation package presented by FHSU-AAUP.

February 1. The parties will meet and confer over the salary generation proposal, in an attempt to reach agreement, after FHSU provides its written response. If the parties do not agree on a salary generation package, impasse may be declared on the issue of salary generation alone.   If the parties agree on a salary generation package, it will be presented at the Kansas Board of Regent’s June meeting.

April 30. Assuming the impasse procedure, including mediation, can be completed in sufficient time, the written fact finding report will be completed no later than April 30. The fact finders’ report will be forwarded to the parties and to the Kansas Board of Regents for inclusion in the agenda for the June Kansas Board of Regent’s agenda.

In conjunction with FHSU’s overall budget request, the Kansas Board of Regents will consider the agreed salary proposal or the fact finder’s report, whichever is appropriate, at the Board’s June meeting. The Kansas Board of Regents may:

1. Accept the agreed proposal or fact- finding report and adjust its block grant request in the Kansas Board of Regents’ budget submission or direct FHSU to take other measures to meet the fact-finder’s recommendation.
2. Not accept the agreed proposal or fact-finding report. If the report is not accepted, the Kansas Board of Regents will proceed with its block grant request in the Kansas Board of Regents, budget submission.
