The dean indicated they were very happy the rules have changed- and that they would no longer sign any proposals including summer salary that didn't also request academic year salary at a 1:1 ratio. The kicker is, the academic year salary would go into the dean's slush fund- it would not be distributed to the faculty member- as we already are granted "release" time from teaching if we are working on federal grants. I have to hand it to the administration- this is ingenious- they have found a way to capture more funds. Is anyone else experiencing a situation like this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-4426167817472274202009-03-17T15:01:00.000-04:002009-03-17T15:01:00.000-04:00You can also find the total salary shifts for the ...You can also find the total salary shifts for the year on any profession along with a dynamic <A HREF="http://www.jobnob.com" REL="nofollow">salary range</A> for each job by visiting the JobNob site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-88444587524378016912009-02-16T19:20:00.000-05:002009-02-16T19:20:00.000-05:00Summer salaries are always lower than most other s...Summer <A HREF="http://www.jobnob.com" REL="nofollow">salaries</A> are always lower than most other salaries, mostly because they are temporary and more workers are willing to accept less for the summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-6028409077452756152008-07-15T18:16:00.000-04:002008-07-15T18:16:00.000-04:00More on the tax consequences: RopesGray.comMore on the tax consequences: <A HREF="http://www.ropesgray.com/files/Publication/176fb64b-93a3-4cee-87dc-12e2a611b013/Presentation/PublicationAttachment/cd1c0f62-dd3f-48c6-8ce8-0799740e1e09/071508_CollegesUniversities_IRSProvidesNewGuidance.pdf" REL="nofollow">RopesGray.com</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-16143034581736782172008-05-26T21:02:00.000-04:002008-05-26T21:02:00.000-04:00There is also a new provision that you can't actua...There is also a new provision that you can't actually take 3 full months summer salary from federal sources; the maximum is an undisclosed amount less than that. This is, I believe, out of deference to federal auditors who were concerned that some professors were talking to students and even going to committee meetings during times they were supposedly 100% doing research.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890204.post-52741986593130309182008-05-26T15:29:00.000-04:002008-05-26T15:29:00.000-04:00Is this just trying to avoid the problem that you ...Is this just trying to avoid the problem that you can't be paid 100% on a grant and write other grant proposals at the same time? (Your 100% pay is not 100% of a 40-hour week but 100% of your working effort during that time.) By pro-rating the salary over the whole year are they saying that you are < 100% on grants in the summer?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
