(a) King’s will make available to the Collective Bargaining Committee of KUCFA, for information purposes only, the following data: (i) The annual audited financial statements of King’s for its most recent fiscal year. (ii) The Annual budget of King’s for its current year as it has been adopted by the Board. (For greater clarity, it is understood that this is not intended to include the detailed working documents which may support the information contained in such budget.) (iii) The StatsCan data on average salaries for Associate Professors within Southwestern Ontario universities. (iv) Average salaries of Full-Time Faculty members grouped by department and rank will be disclosed to the Collective Bargaining Committee of KUCFA, unless such disclosure would state the salary of an individual Faculty member. The data will provide the following: median salary by rank; standard deviation; number of faculty at each rank; and number of faculty teaching course overloads in each rank. (v) Such additional material information as has been previously presented to the Board and as may be pertinent to discussions relating to Faculty salaries. (b) KUCFA agrees to provide salary information for Ontario universities and colleges including data received from OCUFA. (c) The Parties agree that a Comparison Target Group and information related to the CPI will be used to prepare proposals to be used in negotiations. KUCFA and ▇▇▇▇’▇ agree to adopt a comparator group for King's faculty. This comparator group consists of the following eight (8) institutions - University of Western Ontario, Huron University College, Brescia University College, ▇▇▇▇▇ University, St. Jerome’s University, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ University, University of Guelph, University of Windsor – located in southwestern Ontario, as salaries are reported in current data from StatsCan Data, excluding all professional Faculty except Social Work. Moreover, any salary data should exclude any administrative stipends. It is the purpose of this report, therefore, to investigate the salaries and benefits at the above named institutions in southwestern Ontario and compare them to salaries and benefits at King’s and conclude whether or not a salary gap exists and if so, the approximate size. It is understood that any gap is not the sole determining factor during negotiations of the agreement. In keeping with conventional practice, the inflation rate (based on the Consumer Price Index, all items) will be understood to be the average of the previous twelve monthly inflation rates (calculated on a year-over-year basis) ending in the month of October preceding annual negotiations.
