Employee comments sought for dean and faculty administrator policy revisions

UC invites comments on proposed revisions to Academic Personnel Manual Sections 240 (APM - 240), Deans, and 246 (APM - 246), Faculty Administrators (100% time).

Summarized below are the proposed key revisions that are being distributed for systemwide review: 

• To align with previous revisions to APM - 025, Conflict of Commitment and Outside Activities of Faculty Members, language has been added in Sections 240-20-c and 246-20-c to clarify that both uncompensated and compensated activities are reported and count toward the time limit, but that vacation days are deducted only for compensated activities;
• Language has been added to clarify that Deans and Faculty Administrators who hold concurrent Health Sciences Compensation Plan appointments are subject to APM - 670, Health Sciences Compensation Plan, and APM - 671, Conflict of Commitment and Outside Activities of Health Sciences Compensation Plan Participants; and
• Since faculty administrative salaries should be greater than the underlying faculty appointments, the language in Sections 240-18-a(5) and 246-18-a(4) has been revised to refer to the salary of the underlying faculty appointment.

The proposed revisions to APM - 240, Deans, and APM - 246, Faculty Administrators (100% time) are posted under the “Systemwide Review” tab at: https://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/academic-personnel-policy/policies-under-review/index.html.

If you have any questions or if you wish to comment, please contact Robin Sanchez at rgsanchez@ucanr.edu, no later than March 15, 2020. Please indicate “APM-240/246” in the subject line.
