MEMORANDUM
To: Professor Jan Tovey
Chair of the Faculty
From: Steve Ballard
Chancellor
Date:
Subject:
Revisions to the ECU Faculty Manual Part VI.I.J.
Salary Policies
Following my own review
of this resolution, I have discussed the resolution with the Academic Council
and the University Attorney. I must
reject the resolution.
The UNC Code (Appendix I)
clearly delegates authority in this area to the boards of trustees.[1]
The ECU Board of Trustees has delegated authority to the Chancellor to
“establish salary ranges within different disciplines based on the relevant
data and fix compensation for faculty with permanent tenure.” I cannot change that delegated authority,
which, to some extent, would be the effect of approval of the proposed
resolution. Moreover, the Board of
Trustees is authorized to adopt personnel policies not otherwise prescribed by
superseding law or policy (e.g., the UNC Code) for personnel in all areas of
university employment.[2] The scope and nature of the policy issues
that would be decided by adoption of this resolution are more appropriate for
consideration by the ECU Board of Trustees.
