Date of Reports to Faculty Senate: None

Instructions given to Committee by the Faculty Senate:

Encouraged by Chair of the Faculty to reach a successful conclusion to
the question providing annual, updated salary study information as soon
as possible after October ist of each year.

Committee Activities:

An Ad Hoc Committee of Mann, Muzzarelli, and Adler was charged with
definition of questions to be answered by the annual survey of faculty
salaries, and the means through which the survey would be conducted in
the future. After consultation with others, the Ad Hoc Committee
reported in November, 1984, and was charged with further efforts to
assure the timely and regular issuance of a report on salaries to the
Senate.

 
List of Committee Accomplishments:

Resolution of insurance coverage of dependents of female employees by
the ECU medical school clinics; clarification of long distance telphone
access by faculty on campus; approval of modification of TIAA
retirement pay options. The committee recommended that the salary
survey be taken over by the Division of Institutional Research in
future years, as the committee lacks both expertise and facilities to
do so; also, that a brief, non-technical resume of the report data be
produced for the Faculty Senate's informaiton, covering a series of
categories of comparability among faculty.

Citation of the Numbers of Senate Resolutions originating with the
Committee:

Business Carried Over to Next Year:

A. Faculty Salary survey: see recommendation under VII, above

B. Tax-sheltered annuities: a series of workshops to inform faculty
and staff of possible choices.

Evaluation of the Committee:

A. Structure: adequate

B. Duties and Functions: with the exception of the preparation of the
annual salary sruvey, which has proved impossible for the committee
to do without reliance on external persons and faciliites over which
it has no control, the committee finds its present duties approp-
riate.

C. Personnel: Adequate.

Suggestions for Improving the Effectiveness of the Committee:
More interaction with ECU Faculty Senate and Faculty Welfare Committees
of other UNC System campuses regarding mutual concerns.
