Administrative employees' salaries are set based on Linfield's administrative salary schedule with grade level and longevity as the primary determinants of an administrator's salary. The grade level is determined by an all-college committee and is ba sed upon an evaluation of job complexity, duties and responsibilities, and qualifications. Salaries are set based on the grade assigned and longevity in the coaching assignment. It should be noted, however, that the head coaches have some discretion in determining the number of assistant coaches with whom they work. In this way, some head coaches secure more such assistants than may be found in other sports, although the total FTE allocation remains the same.
Most assistant coaches are part-time contract coaches.
Recruiting Expenses Linfield's Office of Admissions incurs the expense of campus visits for ALL prospective students, including those interested in participating in the college's athletic programs. There are no caps on the numbers of either gender who may take advantage of the campus visitation opportunities. Because these benefits are gender-neutral and available to all, they have not been computed in athletic program recruiting costs. In only those cases where special arrangements have been made with coaching personnel to pick up or deliver a student-athlete between campus and the airport have visitation expenses been incurred by the athletic program, and they have been duly noted in these figures. Accordingly, the figures reported in each sport are the result of the Athletic Director's implementation of internal tracking practices to record expenditures of this kind for reporting purposes.
