Overview • Where are we now? The General Campus Compensation Plan has been active for five years on three campuses (UCI, UCLA and UCSD). During year 4, a joint Senate-Administration Taskforce reviewed the program. After consultation with the Taskforce, the Faculty Senate and campus administration, UC Provost Brown extended the program for an additional four years. Phase Two, of the pilot will run July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2022, with the possibility of an additional wind-down year, should the program be terminated. • How does it work? The compensation plan allows faculty to utilize external fund sources to support the negotiated increment. “External funds” refer to non-state-appropriated funds, such as (but not limited to) endowment or gift income, professional degree fees, self-supporting degree fees, and contract and grant support for the negotiated increment. General Funds cannot be substituted for external funds in support of the program. The intent of the program is that the faculty member has access to the external funds due to their research, teaching, or outreach activities. The funds should not be discretionary funds located in the department, school, college, or campus. • Who is Eligible? Ladder-Rank and In-Residence faculty in participating general campus and SIO departments who meet the good standing and eligibility requirements stated in the UCSD Implementation Guidelines • Are there other costs to participate? Enrolled faculty must contribute released base salary equal to 10% of the increment to a contingency fund and must cover the additional benefits costs
