ACADEMIC SENATE

SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY

RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF AMENDING

SPRING 2002 CALENDAR

FOR FILING FACULTY ACTIVITY REPORTS

#RS02-189

WHEREAS The current budget crisis precludes any possibility that CSU will be able to fund Faculty Merit Increases (FMIs) in the coming academic year; and

WHEREAS Faculty eligibility for Service Salary Step Increases (SSIs) for 2002/03 cannot be established because the 2001/02 faculty compensation program (including SSIs) has not yet been resolved; and

WHEREAS It falls to the Academic Senate to determine the deadlines for submitting Faculty Activity Reports (FARs) to be reviewed for awards of SSIs and FMIs as outlined in Policy #F99-208; and

WHEREAS Both the President and the Executive Committee of the Academic Senate have agreed, through a collegial process, that no faculty potentially eligible for SSIs will be disadvantaged by extending the deadline for the filing of the FARs; therefore, be it

RESOLVED That San Francisco State University faculty submit their 2001 FAR in Spring 2002; and be it further

RESOLVED That San Francisco State University eliminate review and consideration for FMIs in Spring 2002; and be it further

RESOLVED That SSI considerations be postponed until SSI eligibility can be properly determined; and be it further

RESOLVED That San Francisco State University adopt the following revised timeline for Spring 2002 for submission of the FARs:

April third Monday: last day for all faculty to submit FAR to Department (Department should retain copy for possible future SSI review)

April fourth Monday: Departments submit FARs to Deans

April fifth Monday: Deans submit FARs to President
