RE:  Academic Appointees Salary Program 

The 2001-2002 California state budget includes funding for the regular
annual general range adjustment for UC academic appointees.  The University
has sufficient funding for an across-the-board 0.5% range adjustment for UC
academic appointees for 2001-2002.  Increases are to be effective October
1, 2001.  Later this month, we will formally issue the new salary scales
and post the scales on the web. The 2001-2002 academic merit program, for
those eligible, was fully funded effective July 1, 2001.

As you may also know, state revenues have been declining due to the recent
economic downturn.  One consequence of this drop in state revenues has been
a shortfall in funds provided to the University for staff and academic
salary increases.  This shortfall for salaries was particularly
disappointing given the momentum we had recently begun to build in this
area.  We will continue to impress upon the Legislature and the governor
the importance of full partnership funding for staff and academic employee
salaries, and that it is critical to UC's ability to continue to attract
and recognize the kind of talent necessary to maintain UC as a leading
educational institution and a leading employer.

Salary actions for exclusively represented UC employees are subject to the
terms of existing collective bargaining agreements or to meeting and
conferring in accordance with provisions of the Higher Education
Employer-Employee Relations Act (HEERA), as appropriate.
