--- 12 Wednesday, April 27, 1988 / University Daily Kansan Budget Continued from p.1 a 5 percent increase in unclassified salaries. - a 2.4 percent increase in classified salaries and an average step increase of 4 percent if the person is eligible. a 4 percent increase in student salaries. a 4 percent increase in other operating expenses. The Margin of Excellence is the Regents plan to increase total funding of Regents schools to 95 percent of their peers and increase faculty salaries to 100 percent of salaries at peer schools. Peer schools are similar in size, scope and mission. The legislative funding of the Margin for fiscal year 1989 would be the first of the three year plan. Ward Brian Zimmerman, director of the KU budget office, said that the University would receive about $4.8 million in new money for unclassified salaries, with $1.7 million of that from the Margin. If the University were to distribute the salary money across the board, faculty would receive a 7.3 percent increase over last year's figures, he said. However, all unclassified employees receive salary increases on a merit basis only, with the criteria determined by their department, school or unit. For 1989, KU faculty might expect anything from no increase to an increase of about 25 percent, Zimmerman said. For mission-related enhancements, KU would receive about $1.6 million. Mission-related enhancements are plans to hire more faculty for graduate and undergraduate instruction, to strengthen organized research programs, to purchase more resources for libraries and to strengthen basic support programs. "We will be creating new positions as well as trying to buy new scientific equipment and enhance academic computing." Zimmerman said. New faculty would be hired in schools such as architecture, business, engineering, education and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, which is also able to purchase microcomputers for classroom and faculty use. So far, about 28 new unclassified positions and about 15 new classified positions have been approved under relationship-related enhancements proposal University plans Margin spending Schools ready to address the faculty salary problem at KU Kansan staff writer 3v Rebecca J. Cisek When the schools at the University of Kansas receive money from the Margin of Excellence, they won't be unprepared. Schools ready to address the faculty salary problem at KU The University as a whole has been anticipating the funds for several months. In February, Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs, asked the deans of the schools to submit a three-year plan addressing the salary problems of their faculty. The office of academic affairs then will consider these plans when allocating Margin money. "We will look at a combination of quality, importance of the money to the school and relative deprivation to decide what money goes where," Brinkman said. The business school is one professional school that sorely needs funds to improve faculty salaries. John Tollett, dean of business, said that faculty salaries in the school were about 16 percent behind their national competition, which comprises the Big Ten, the University of Texas at Austin and Penn State University. The school has suffered severe losses of faculty as a result. Some faculty may have to wait a few years for salary increases, he said. Tollefson said that the school would pick out the most severe cases of salary deprivation and take action there first, but faculty will still receive raises on a merit basis only. Ann Weick, acting dean of social welfare, said that the school was seeking out better peer schools for itself. A comparison of KU social welfare salaries with those additional schools show that KU is even farther behind.
