A promotion raise will be added to the salary of each tenure-track faculty member promoted to the rank of either Associate Professor or Professor. This amount is to be in addition to the merit increase allocation within the respective units. If any faculty member who is approved for promotion is not proposed for an above average merit increase with his or her department, then a specific justification must be given to the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost.
