Request for Salary Adjustment. Any administrator (i) who has assumed significantly expanded responsibilities as an administrator, or (ii) who has secured either a new academic degree or new professional credentials of relevant significance shall be entitled to request their chief administrative officer to review their salary for the purpose of considering whether to recommend that the administrator be granted a salary increase of the kind described in the preceding paragraph 1. The administrator may provide any information in support of the request for salary review. The chief administrative officer shall thereafter make such recommendation in that regard as they deem appropriate. Following such further review as may be appropriate, the President or their designee shall decide whether to grant the administrator any such salary increase. The President’s decision (or that of their designee) shall be made no later than ninety (90) days following the submission of the administrator’s request to their chief administrative officer. In the event the President (or their designee) elects to grant a salary adjustment, the decision shall state the amount thereof and its effective date. In the event the President elects not to grant a salary adjustment, the President shall state the specific reasons for the denial as they relate to the substance of the request. Every decision made hereunder shall be final and binding. Such requests for salary adjustments shall be made at the beginning of the fiscal year budget cycle for the administrator’s institution.
