1. We need to prepare for new faculty orientation. Tom suggested to
Vincent to contact the coordinator for confirmed dates. It could be a
recruitment strategy for us.
We discussed several issues.
2. Benchmarking:
Using
median v. mean
Modeling
our annual survey to the one used by Syracuse U.
The
28 page reports is available at
http://su-aaup.org/pdf/report0607.pdf
The
inclusion of Imaging Science into the college wide benchmarking data
Professors
in the college of science didn’t qualify for benchmarking increases
Future
RIT salary data should be separated: new v. continuing faculty
Evaluate
if the current promotion salary adjustments are adequate
3. Fall state conference:
Suggest RIT as the host for the fall 2008 AAUP-NY Conference meeting
Try to have the Radisson bid against the RIT Inn & Conference Center
(Fall is usually “upstate”, spring is usually “downstate”)
4. Recruitment for local charter:
Develop
12 reasons to join the chapter
Implement
payroll deduction for dues
5. Search for Provost:
The
chapter will be active.
Next summer meeting:
