WHEREAS, the current Collective Bargaining Agreement
(CBA) expires on June 30, 2001; and
|
|
WHEREAS, the Salary Step Increase (SSI), unlike
the Faculty Merit Increase (FMI), is determined after consideration of
the Personnel Action File; and
|
|
WHEREAS, the current CBA contains no language allocating
funds from the 2001-02 compensation package to the FMI program; and
|
|
WHEREAS, the 2001-02 California budget and funding
for the California State University (CSU) are not yet known and, therefore,
funding does not currently exist to support another round of FMI review,
recommendations, rebuttals, and appeals; and
|
|
WHEREAS, there is no assurance that the current
FMI program and process will be continued in the new CBA, and there are
some indications that a different merit pay program may replace it; and
|
|
WHEREAS, San Francisco State University is the only
campus in the CSU that implements FMI review in the spring semester; and
|
|
WHEREAS, San Francisco State University has completed
three cycles of FMI review under the current CBA; and
|
|
WHEREAS, in a faculty survey the faculty of San
Francisco State University voted 312 to 159 not to proceed with FMI review
in Spring 2001; therefore, be it
|
|
RESOLVED, that the Academic Senate, SFSU recommend
that all faculty members file their Faculty Activity Reports (FAR) and
that all departments make appropriate recommendations regarding SSI, according
to the most recent timetable distributed by the Dean of Faculty Affairs;
and be it further
|
|
RESOLVED, that the Academic Senate, SFSU find it
premature and imprudent to begin FMI reviews and recommendations before
a successor CBA is in place; and be it further
|
|
RESOLVED, that the Academic Senate, SFSU urge
President Robert Corrigan to heed the results of the faculty FMI survey
and not implement another round of FMI review and recommendations until
a successor CBA is in place, and that the Academic Senate, SFSU look forward
to the decision on FMIs that President Corrigan indicated would be forthcoming
by March 23, 2001.
