Pre-Retirement Recall Agreements

How to determine Emeriti Faculty teaching salary on a Pre-Retirement Recall Agreement The initial per-course salary for Emeriti Faculty teaching on a Pre- Retirement Recall Agreement is explicitly stated in each MOU. The amount is equal to one-ninth of the faculty member's pre-retirement faculty base salary, that is, equal to the salary for his/her rank and step at retirement, not to exceed Professor, Step VII. Off-scale amounts are not included. Each quarter-course generally represents a 33% quarterly appointment percentage (an 11% annual appointment percentage), unless another agreement has been made between the Emeriti, Department Chair and the Dean. An example of an appointment less than 11% might be teaching a graduate seminar with 3-4 students. During subsequent years of appointment, an Emeriti Faculty member's salary is increased by the amount of any general COLA provided to the faculty up to Professor, Step VII. There are no merit increases for Emeriti Faculty teaching on a Pre- Retirement Recall Agreement.
