4. Discussion of pay adjustment models
a. The committee discussed gender inequities by college and how can we
address it. The committee played with various models.
b. Kristin will develop models by college, rank, and gender to address gaps
in % to CUPA median.
i. Look at addressing the inequities within rank and within college,
address it in the following options:
1. Bringing those specific areas up to 85%, 86% or 87% with
a cap of $5,000 adjustment.
2. Determine the amount of funds needed for those
adjustments and set aside other funds for the remaining
colleges/deans for discretionary.
ii. Determine the amount of funds needed for bringing individuals up
to 85%, 86% or 87% with a cap of $5,000 adjustment in the nonhighlighted colleges and ranks.
iii. After the above discretionary funds are set aside, determine
remaining funds available and allocate those funds out to
remaining individuals under 100% by:
1. Dividing amount so everyone gets the same flat amount.
2. Dividing amount so everyone gets the same percentage.
5. The Committee will meet again next week to finalize a plan to forward to
