Faculty members who assume administrative positions (chair or above) will have their contracts changed to 12/10ths of the faculty salary. When they return to their faculty position, their salary will return to the original faculty salary plus an amount equal to the average adjustment to faculty compensation that accrued during the administrative appointment. The president may add a stipend to the administrative position. However, upon return to the faculty position, the stipend will not be included in the faculty salary or in its determination.

Faculty in administrative positions will earn research and development opportunities at the same rate as other faculty.
