This committee focuses on faculty well-being, including working conditions, the academic environment, and productivity. It looks at benefits available to both military and civilian faculty and evaluates how those benefits (or gaps in them) affect faculty members. The committee also gathers and reviews information about whether salaries, retirement plans, and other benefits are fair and comparable within the University. It consults with University leadership on these issues and shares its findings and recommendations with the Faculty Senate, which then reports to the full Faculty Assembly.

The Comparability Faculty Welfare Committee will consider issues related to the status and working environment of faculty, the University’s academic environment, and faculty productivity. This committee will also be empowered to examine the availability of local benefits to both military and civilian faculty and to consider the impact of these benefits (or the lack thereof) upon faculty. An important task of this committee is to collect information on the comparability of salaries, retirement, and other benefits within the University. It will review the established methods for collecting information relevant to this topic, consult with the Dean, the President, or the Board of Regents on these matters, and report through the Faculty Senate to the University Faculty Assembly.
