[PEN-L:1955] apology and request

[amott@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Teresa Amott)]

Sorry for sending personal e-mail to the whole list.  Too quick with the
reply button.

While I'm here, however, I'd like to ask the academics on the list to let
me know 1) if their institutions use merit or performance-based pay
increments for tenured faculty, 2) roughly the size of those increments, 3)
the evaluation process that determines the size of the increment, and, most
important, 4) if there are any universities using a model of merit pay that
is more of a faculty development tool than a reward for good behavior or a
slap on the wrist for "shirking."  I'm trying to develop an alternative to
our merit pay system  here at Bucknell and would like to know if any other
schools are trying alternative models.   Please reply privately (she said
after sending her own personal message to a thousand people).  Thanks.

Teresa
