It is the long-established policy of the University that the academic-year salary includes compensation for all duties performed during the academic year, whether in teaching, research, or administration. Changes in duty assignment do not, therefore, alter a full-time faculty member's salary. Exceptions to this policy are made only for participation as an underclass academic adviser, service as chair or director of an academic department or program, and in other special cases, such as participation in lecture or conference programs not part of the regular University curriculum, authorized by the Dean of the Faculty.
