1.      Approval of Minutes

The meeting was convened at 2:00 p.m. by the Chair, Chuck Bailey.  Minutes of the previous meeting were approved. 

2.      Old Business

The committee discussed various methods of compensation and related issues, including a new proposal for compensation sent out via e-mail by Rick McCormick.  Mike McGuffey had been asked to run the numbers on this so that the committee can see the effect of the proposal on actual salaries and ranks but there were problems with the results.   Marty Laubach distributed a draft proposal for incorporating CPI into salary raise determination.  A discussion followed which focused on the various problems associated with this draft proposal.  Another committee member, Larry Schmitz, had sent out proposed wording on the calculation of salaries to be included in the individual faculty letter of appointment that is sent out annually by the president.  A motion was made to approve the letter and by approving this letter we also approved continuing with the current salary distribution method as described in the letter. The motion was passed by the committee

The next meeting was set for January 2008 on a day and time to be determined after committee members have submitted to the secretary the best days and times for them to meet. 

The meeting adjourned at 3:50 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted:

Wendy Moorhead
