7.35 – Academic Administrator Reassignment and Retreat

Due to the larger scope of responsibility of most administrative positions, the reassignment of an administrator with faculty rank to a faculty position normally results in a reduction of salary.  Several factors are considered in making the salary determination, including the level of faculty salaries in the department where the reassignment occurs. Normally, department heads who have less than 4 complete years return to 75 percent of their base salaries (not including department head increment), and department heads who serve 4 or more years return to 80 percent of their base salaries.  Again, several factors are considered in making the salary determination, including the level of faculty salaries in the department where the reassignment occurs.
