Academic Equity Adjustment Clause Samples

Academic Equity Adjustment. In the event an NTT faculty member achieves an advance degree after their initial NTT employment with the University, they will be eligible to request from their Chair consideration for an academic equity salary adjustment. To be considered for an academic equity adjustment, the person requesting consideration must have been employed by the University with a lower degree prior to achieving the advanced degree, the advanced degree must be from an accredited institution, and must be in the academic area being taught by the NTT faculty member or in a closely related academic area. The determination of “a closely related academic area” is an administrative decision and is not subject to the grievance procedure of this agreement. Nothing in this article will be interpreted to require the University to grant a request for an academic equity adjustment.
