Georgia USG Now USG Faculty Governance: – Significantly Decentralized v. Top Five Populated States – Status of HR 1245 and HB 1156? (USG and BOR? ) And Other USG HR/HB Legislation Increasing: Is this the trend? USG Salaries: – Georgia: Lowest Ranks of 10 Most Populated States in All Univ. /College Levels – Georgia’s Average Public Faculty Salary < National Average in: Overall University/Four Yr/Two Yr; Four Yr Only; and Two Yr Only – Georgia’s Only Public Faculty Salary > National Average is in University Level – Several USG Universities Conducting Salary Assessments e. g. , Valdosta State University, University of Georgia, Clayton State University (Others? ) Are the Assessments Considering the 10 Most Populated States?

Georgia USG Now USG Benefits: – TRP In Mid-Range for Top 6 Populated States (2025) – ORP Near Bottom of Top 6 Populated States (2025) Only New York Lower than Georgia Over Entire Faculty Career – ORP Decrease in 2007: Significant Detriment to Obtaining/Retaining Faculty ORP 9. 65% prior to 2007, With 8. 15% after 2007 = $102, 000 decrease per faculty over 20 years [Assumption: 4% salary increase/yr & 8% on retirement over 20 yrs] – Healthcare Benefits: Maintain and Improve? Other Faculty Issues Include, but are not limited to: – Autonomy/Academic Freedom; – Capping of Student Numbers Per Course; – Percent of Tenured Faculty in Department/University; – Office Hours; Advising Load; Research/Teaching Ratio; – Adjunct Faculty and Full Time Faculty Proportions; Faculty Search Costs – Community Service Expectations; Committee Work Expectations; – Professionalism and Student Interaction Ethics with Changing Student-mix

Georgia 2025 - Conclusion Georgia is Fastest Growing State in Top 10 Populated States Is Georgia’s USG Faculty prepared for Faculty Governance in 2025? – Do we want a Georgia Association of Faculty Governance Units (GAFGU)? Framework already in place for Students and Staff in USG To Increase Communication with the USG – BOR To Increase Shared Faculty Governance within the USG To Meet At Least Annually at One of the USG Sites with USG - BOR – To Help Ensure Appropriate Governance & Salaries and Benefits Is Georgia’s USG Faculty Planning Appropriate for future Salaries/Benefits? – Salaries: At least Greater than National Average and Strive for “Top Six” – Benefits: Target ORP Increases, Continuously Improve TRS ORP Sliding Scale? (Individual Variable; BOR Incremental Increases) Total 15% First 5 yrs [Texas]; 17% 5 -10 yrs; 20% 10 + yrs [Florida]) – Increase Communication for other Faculty Issues/Benefits (e. g. , Healthcare) Our Future Is Up to US!
