Minutes of the Faculty Senate Steering Committee Meeting

Present: Drs. Dana Bradziunas, Phong Le, Kim Kenton, Alan Wolfe, John McNulty, Nancy Muma

.Excused: Drs. John Godwin, Michael Schneck, Sean Cahill, Bill Cannon, Kim Dell’Angela, Ken Micetich

 

Minutes from the December and February meetings were approved without revision.

 We discussed the last meeting with Dr. Lee, specifically concerning the pay raise issues. There were mixed feelings concerning across-the board raises at the same levels versus graded raises based on performance. Keeping successful faculty from leaving Loyola is a problem. Faculty retention has been a problem in terms of loss of start up funds, and loss of single sub-specialty faculty members. John suggested that we put together a proposal to increase faculty retention, faculty salary comparisons (Loyola compared to other Chicago institutions) and morale.

 

Dates for an open faculty meeting were discussed. April 12,13,19, 20 at 4 pm were possible dates. Dr. Lee could speak to the faculty concerning finances and the strategic planning committee. We would like to speak about faculty retention, salary and morale at the next meeting with Dr. Lee.
