He cautioned us to remember that some misbehavers treat everyone badly, including their colleagues, and administrators usually don t suffer alone. John D. asked by what route does an administrator report abuses or ask for help on matters of abusive or offensive treatment from any employee on campus. The answer is to bring such matters to Dean Story s attention. Salaries for faculty are hard to figure since so many work less than full-time and have different categories. Faculty salaries are low here compared to 30 comparable schools, and here they have the highest teaching load of the 30 schools.
Some faculty require a very high start-up expense for equipment, etc.
It could take a year to get the resources and equipment that a faculty member needs to teach. And, keep in mind that faculty have to pay to publish in Scientific Journals. Dean Story expressed great sympathy for lower-paid staff as buying power and medical benefits are eroding. Roberto expressed a need for the college to retain students and, while good faculty is needed for this, so is good staff and their compensation is meager. We need collaboration from everyone on campus to attract and keep them.
