ACADEMIC PERSONNEL MANUAL
Transmittal Notice
10/21/97

Attached are the academic salary scales which take effect
November 1, 1997, and reflect the range and parity adjustments as
follow:

I.   Titles Eligible for Range/Parity Adjustment

     A cumulative 5% (2% range adjustment, 3% parity adjustment)
     is applied to the salary of the following title series:

     *    Professor series (including Professor in Residence,
          Professor of Clinical ______, Adjunct Professor,
          Clinical Professor series)
     *    Agronomist series
     *    Lecturer with Security of Employment and Senior
          Lecturer with Security of Employment series

     The 5% increase for academic year and fiscal year faculty
     salary scales is weighted to correct disproportionate
     percentage changes between steps (for example, Professor III
     is increased by 5.5%, Professor IV is increased by 4.8%.)

II.  Above-Scale Salaries

     Faculty with above-scale salaries shall receive the 5%
     range/parity adjustment.

III. Off-Scale Salaries

     Academic appointees with off-scale salaries will receive the
     range and/or parity adjustment on the base salary only.

IV.  All other academic titles, including those covered by
     collective bargaining units, and student academic titles,
     are range adjusted by 2%.
