__.-the American Association‘of - University Professors

It has now been exactly three years since 158 members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences signed an open letter to the Tufts Administration and the Board of Trusteescalling upon PROCTER&GAMBLE them to formulate a plan to bring average faculty salaries for all ranks in Arts in Sciences into the top 20% of AAUP invites toD Latin American students to the 1991 Category I institutions within three years. Now that the target date has arrived, we are pleased to note that this year the average salary for the rank of Assistant Professor has reached the 80th percentile, ranking 35th of 180 comparable Category I institutions. We want to express our appreciation to the Administration and the Board of Trustees for this significant salary gain. Although average salaries for the ranks of Professor (at 70%)and Associate Professor (at 75%) have seen less improvement and still fall short of our stated goals, we have begun to see significant progress there, too. AAUP is concerned, however, that in the current fiscal climate these hard-won and long-overdue gains could be jeopardized, and faculty salaries could lose their place of high priority in the A&S budget. In the Daily for March 15, 1991 (page’five)you are quoted as citing faculty salaries as a We offer 25 outstanding students the opportunity to enter the complex financial world of Latin American markets “major factor in the budget shortfall” and warning of the and to increase management skills working with Procter & Gamble executives through actual case studies. impending end of “very large increases in faculty salaries.” Applicants should meet the following requirements: These “very large increases” have occurred only in the last . -Qualities of leadership two yearsand are a long way from making up earning power *Outstanding academic record *Graduating in 1992 or 1993 lost in the seventies.

Although there still bemain afew active “alumni clubs,” alumni everywhere are !xcited about the new TuRs Alliance program. “he “Alli- ince” concept was introduced in 1984by Director of Alumni %elations Ron Brinn, A’58. “Since we had virtually no brganized national network at that time, we were able to levise a contemporary format -- somewhat less complex ;han the traditional Alumni Club -- which would encourage rolunteers to work for the University volunteers to work for ;he University exclusively in their own areas of special Interest,” Brinn said. “we also broadened the membership ;o welcome parents and other friends to the Alliance.” The program does just that. By assembling varied volunteer interests under the Alliance umbrella, Tufhnians can become involved in any (or all) of the following areas: Career Networking, Continuing Education, Social Activi- ties, Cultural Events, Student Recruiting, and Community Service. There’s no limit to what you can do as an Alliance member. Medical School alums, for example, can run programs expressly for their alumni, while still being involved in and aware of all Alliance functions. The goal is to diffuse the light of TuRs spirit across the globe. If you’d like to be part of this light brigade, join the Alliance in your area. Here is a list of alumni groups, with contact information and an example of what you might participate in as a member: ki!4OZU3 LaAngel- Dr. Robert Wilson A’60 Esther Rudis CY74 ,602)264-3541 (213)5565658 slumpi receptions Dinner with guest speaker Sol Gittleman, May 21;Pageant of the Atlanta MastersJuly 27;Night at the Hol- Ross Ginsberg A90 lywood Bowl, August 24; Red Sox ‘404)6366382 w.Angels, August 25 Evenings at the Theatre, Homecom- mg Away Tailgate Picnic, Reception br Accented Students.
