Each faculty member in a department generates 14 merit points.
Ten of these 14 points are distributed to the department to be
allocated according to departmental procedures. The remaining 4
points are distributed among the department chairperson (1 point),
the dean of the college (2 points), and the vice chancellor (1
point) to be allocated according to the appropriate procedures for
each. In order to receive the full pay plan increase, a faculty
member must earn 14 total merit points.
Procedural guidelines for merit distribution can be found in the
University Handbook, Chapter 4B, Section 3, under Evaluation of
Faculty by Students and Peers. Typically this would be on pages
23-26.
(May be across-the-board distribution depending on % of increase)
