Senate Committee on the Economic Status of the Faculty SCESF

The Senate Committee on the Economic Status of the Faculty ("SCESF") gathers and organizes data on salaries and benefits and represents the faculty in the determination of University policy on salary issues.  SCESF issues an annual report along with an executive summary of that report.

SCESF performs the bulk of its work annually during the fall semester using data provided via the Provost by the Office of Institutional Research and Analysis.

Specific Charges, 2022-2023

1. (Overarching charge) Address systemic racism and other forms of inequity by assessing and evaluating ways to change University structures, practices, and biases at the University, school, departmental, and individual levels.  Examples include eligibility for leadership roles; differential standards for faculty evaluation and compensation based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, department-level voting privileges; biases implicit in quantitative methods for evaluating faculty; and evaluation of effectiveness of campus mental health and wellness programs.
2. Develop an operational definition for “total compensation” for the purpose of the committee’s analysis, and request data from the Office of Institutional Research and Analysis to permit an encompassing review of total compensation issues, including differential patterns for under-represented minorities, for schools, and for other inequities.
3. Assemble and analyze data and produce a first draft of the Report on the Economic Status of the Faculty for discussion and review in committee by December 16, 2022. 
4. Incorporate final changes and approve the final draft of the Report on the Economic Status of the Faculty by Friday, January 20, 2023.
