1.  Dues for full time faculty: 1 % of Step 13 (6.2.1)  Part time faculty dues shall be the greater of: Gross pay for a pay period x 1% to a maximum equal to the dues of full time faculty. (6.2.2.1) OR $5 per pay period. (6.2.2.2)

4. Proposal to change current system:  Do not base dues on a grid level  For full time and part-time: Dues be based on Gross Pay x 1% Impact:  Given average salary of approx $95,000/year dues will be approx. $950/year ($79 to $80/month).  Dues remain at current level  If salary < $95,000/year: results in a decrease in dues  If salary > $95,000/year: results in an increase in dues  Dues based on gross pay makes it an equitable system
