1.   TRANSMITTED:  APM-133, Limitation on Total Period of Service with
     Certain Academic Titles, effective 7/1/97.  This section includes: 
     pp.1-11; Summary Chart, pp.1-3; Appendix A, p.1.

     SUPERSEDES:  APM-133, pp.1-11; Summary Chart, pp.1-3; Appendix B,
     pp.1-2; Appendix D, p.1.  (There is no Appendix A or C.)

     PURPOSE:  Revises 133-17h to provide for time off the tenure clock
     of up to one year for each event of birth or adoption and to allow
     for stopping the clock more than one time for a maximum of two
     years; clarifies (in introductory note) that for determining years
     toward the eight-year limitation of service, the combined total of
     periods of leave unrelated to academic duties and time off the
     tenure clock may not exceed two years; changes eligibility
     criteria for time off the tenure clock from "primary" child care
     responsibilities to "substantial" child care responsibilities, in
     recognition that both parents often share in the care of their
     children; eliminates references to the title Acting Instructor
     from the Professor series, which has not been used for ladder-rank
     faculty for at least 10 years.

2.   TRANSMITTED:  APM-200, Appointment and Promotion/General,

     actions.  In years when the State budget is delayed, the
     University may have to postpone payment of salary increases until
     the Governor and the Legislature have approved the State budget
     for the current fiscal year.  The changes provide campuses with
     the option to include or omit cautionary language about the timing

     to develop local guidelines for setting administrative stipends
     based on factors such as budgeted department funds and the size
     and complexity of the unit.
