Stipends are a fixed amount of additional money for performing a specific non-teaching task; paid regularly; a stipend is a payment in addition to the base pay for an assignment which is not part of the employee’s ongoing faculty appointment, but which is part of the normal workload, i.e. within the assigned percent of full time. A stipend is used to separate the portion of compensation paid to an employee for the effort and responsibility related to a special assignment. If the special assignment ends, the stipend is removed and the salary will revert to the salary for the ongoing teaching faculty appointment.
A) Administrative Stipend - Faculty administrators who receive a Faculty Ranked Administrator contract is defined as “administrative”; these faculty will receive 9- or 12- month Faculty Ranked Administrator contracts/administrative stipends serving in the role as an administrator. Given when a faculty member is asked to perform administrative duties that are outside the scope of the faculty member’s position. Faculty receiving administrative stipends are not eligible for teaching faculty awards nor may they serve on University/college/department committees as teaching faculty.
The USG Academic & Student Affairs Handbook 4.3.5 states: “When a faculty member on an academic year contract is given a fiscal year administrative appointment, institutions should pay the faculty member an administrative stipend based on the job description and responsibilities related to their administrative role. The administrative stipend should be identified separately from the base salary amount in the faculty member’s contract and the contract should specify that the stipend will no longer be available when the administrative appointment ends.”
Positions in which faculty are eligible to receive administrative contracts and an administrative stipend include Provost; assistant/associate/vice presidents; assistant/associate/vice/senior vice provosts; deans; assistant/associate deans; department chairs/school directors; assistant/associate/directors of academic units (e.g., CETL); special assistant to President/Provost; others per President/Provost
B) Non-Administrative Stipend - For non-administrators who receive a teaching contract; assignment is non-teaching and is expected to continue; these faculty will not receive administrative contracts but will remain on a 9- or 12-month teaching faculty contract. PTR clock does not stop. Faculty receiving non-administrative stipends are eligible for teaching faculty awards and may serve on University/college/department committees as teaching faculty.
Positions in which faculty may be eligible to receive non-administrative stipends include, but are not limited to, assistant/associate department chairs/school directors; program coordinators; and others as determined by the dean and/or department chair/school director.
Stipends for 9-month faculty can be paid in the summer by putting the stipend amount on the summer payroll. Stipends count towards the 33.33% earning maximum for summer pay.
