HOWARD UNIVERSITY

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT MEMORANDUM September 6, 1996 10 Members of the Howard University Community FROM H. Pft:TRICK SWYGERT /A/J~lfi,M,,.,.//£! President :;,;vi/d. '.,1-W~N,

SUBJECT FY95/96 UNIVERSITY MERIT AWARD PROGRAM

In June 1996, I announced the Board of Trustees' approval of a three-phase salary adjustment plan for faculty and staff. Phases One and Two were implemented in June and July, respectively. I am pleased to announce that Phase Three, the creation of a salary merit award program, will be implemented in October 1996. Accordingly, you are herein advised of the acceptance of nominations/recommendations for the initial University Merit Award Program as follows:

• Period of Recognition July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1996 • Who Can Nominate All Members of the University Community (Faculty, Deans, Supervisors, Alumni, Students, and Self-nominations) • Who Is Eligible All Non-Union/Non-Grant Employees on the University Payroll as of December 31, 1995 • Submission Deadlines September 27, 1996

Information packets on the guidelines for submission of nominations/recommendations are available at the various locations listed below. These guidelines are being put into place now to avoid any delay in award recognition of outstanding faculty and staff performance. The guidelines are interim and shall govern nominations and/or recommendations for the FY95/96 award period. Further refinement of the guidelines will be developed by the end of this fiscal year and will be shared with the Faculty Senate, Deans, Department Chairs, Administrators, and the Howard University Staff Organization for comment. Please be mindful that these awards are highly competitive and that all eligible nominees wjH not receive awards. It is anticipated that no more than twenty percent (20%) of the workforce will receive awards. We have sought to construct a fair, rational, and effective program. The comments I received from the Faculty Senate, the Deans and Department Chairs, the Howard University Staff Organization, and the Vice Presidents have been very helpful to me. Many, many thanks to you all. Should you have any questions regarding the nomination/recommendation process, please direct all inquiries to the Office of the Vice President for Human Resource Management at 806-2250.

2400 Sixth Street, NW, Suite 402 (202) 806-2500 Washington, DC 20059 Fax (202) 806-593 1
