3. Relation of Compensation to Duty Assignment Print this section It is the long-established policy of the University that the academic year salary includes compensation for all duty performed during the academic year, whether in teaching, research, or administration. Changes in duty assignment do not, therefore, alter a Faculty member’s salary. Exceptions to this policy are made only for participation as an Undergraduate Academic Adviser, service as Chair or Director of an academic department or program, or in other special cases.
