MEMO:Accreditation Self-Study, Standard Nine – Institutional Integrityfrom Wayne Powel.  Thecommittee rec’d the memo with Wayne’s comments via email fromMarcia.  Wayne wouldlike the committee to read and comment on his statements. Waynewould like to be invited to an upcoming meeting. The memo will bediscussed at the next meeting, and then Wayne will be invited to alater meeting.

CompensationCommittee meeting with HR The committeemet with Heather Murray to discuss possibilities for staff to bepaid at the third quartile and the pay-for-performanceproposal.  Heatherexplained that it is not a possibility at this time and is a longterm goal.  Many toolshave to be in place first and a revamping of the payroll systemwould have to happen. One tool that is in place is the employee evaluation and it stillisn’t being bought into campus-wide as yet even though it ismandatory.  HR isworking with the supervisors that are resistant to participating inthe evaluation system.

Use ofStaff-L  After Marcia finds out ifall three proposals have been sent to the Administration (9/10month vacation; Joint Compensation Proposal; GU Community StaffService Day) Marcia will ask Neva to put out the three proposals onStaff-L so that the community can see what the committees have beenworking on.  There isdiscussion that staff are not using the web site and have access toemail and would like the information.

Meeting adjourned at 12:57.

Respectfully submitted,
