ASU Tempe/Downtown Academic Senate

The ASU Academic Senate is voting on the revised ACD Sections 510-02, 510-04, and 002, addressing key policies regarding Institutional Base Salary (IBS) and intra-university consulting. These updates come in response to an NSF audit that emphasized the need for compliance with NSF and OMB standards. The revisions include details on supplemental pay, limits on intra-university consulting, and formal definitions for IBS. This policy aims to ensure that faculty compensation remains compliant while supporting research endeavors.

Presentation Transcript

  1. ASU Tempe/Downtown Academic Senate Motion to Approve ACD Sections 510-02, 510-04, and 002 (“Institutional Base Salary”) As Revised.

  2. Background • NSF Audit of Funded Labor Cost Management, in February • Major Target: Intra-University Consulting • Need for Policies that Meet NSF, OMB Standards Without Avoidable Restraints on Research Arrangements • PC Worked with OVPR, ORSPA, GCO, as well as Research Center Administrators • PCs of West, Polytechnic Coordinated

  3. ACD 510-02 [Old 510-04] • “Supplemental Pay Policy” [replacing “Supplemental Instructional Activity”, also 511-02, “Temporary Salary Adjustments”] • Key: Excludes “intra-university consulting”. • Extends coverage to Regents’ Profs, admin roles, etc. • Intra-U Honoraria: $1500, tops. [Exception exists.]

  4. ACD 510-04 [New] • “Intra-University Consulting”. • Rare; Collegial help is the norm. • For exceptions, the policy creates a list of requirements. • Explicit approval by grant agency trumps own-grant-consulting and non-intra-departmental limits. [!] • New question: should condition #2 be “subject to the provisions of paragraph 1 above, and OMB Circular A-21”? • Policy otherwise mirrors OMB language for maximal flexibility.

  5. ACD 002—One Definition to be Added • “Institutional Base Salary”—no definition existed in prior ACD. • “…base annual compensation set by ASU for an individual’s appointment…” for all activities. • “IBS may not be increased as a result of replacing ASU salary funds with grant or contract funds.”

  6. Thank You
