President Yudof has issued a letter today indicating there will be merit-based pay raises for faculty "at all levels" of 3% and non-represented (nonunion) staff earning up to $200,000. It is unclear exactly what this means for faculty (who get step and promotion advances).The letter is at http://www.scribd.com/doc/62519367/Pres-Yudof-Letter-081711
A Sacramento Bee description of the letter and some background is at http://blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2011/08/university-of-california-employees-may-get-raises-mark-yudof.html
Clearly, a golden future awaits:
Update: There is a LA Times version of this story at http://www.latimes.com/health/la-me-uc-pay-20110818,0,298613.story
But it does not make the matter any clearer.
Update: The San Francisco Chronicle version tends to put a negative spin on the announcement but contains the statement:
... all faculty and eligible staff will get a raise - generally about 3 percent of their base salary - if they receive a positive performance evaluation this fall.
Of course, not all faculty normally receive merit reviews in a given year. So this statement may mean that what we have here is a 3% across-the-board (or almost-across-the-board) range adjustment.
Yours truly has now received additional info: Faculty who have received a satisfactory performance (merit) review in the past 4 years will get the 3% as of October 1, 2011.
