Common use of Horizontal Movement on the Salary Schedule Clause in Contracts

Horizontal Movement on the Salary Schedule. All Residential Faculty members move horizontally on the salary schedule for each credit hour beyond the minimum entering requirement up to a maximum of eighty-five (85) semester hours, unless the member has earned a doctoral degree. To receive credit, a non-degreed Residential Faculty member must, (a) file a course of study leading to an Associate’s degree, or (b) file a listing of technical and general education courses accepted by the Department/Division Chair, Vice President of Academic Affairs, the College President, and the Faculty Professional Growth Committee. If the Administration requires additional study by the non-degreed Residential Faculty member, the salary will be adjusted accordingly. Residential Faculty members will be granted additional increments to their base salary for acceptable credit, including the doctoral degree, as indicated on the salary schedule. (See 10.2.1).
