All students, faculty and staff
are invited to attend a
statutorily required public hearing
to discuss
an increase of
the General Use Fee
Monday, November 25, 1996
7:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Rudder Theatre
Office of the President, Texas A&M University

Dr. Bill Kibler, associate vice president for
student affairs, said an across-the-board raise
has not been given in a long time.
"Generally, A&M uses a merit pool raise,
which is currently proposed by President
Bowen,” he said. “Each department is allotted a
set amount of additional money to grant raises.”
Thomas H. Taylor, assistant vice presi
dent for finance, said the University estab
lishes parameters for each department.
“For example, the overall salary increase
can’t exceed 3 percent of the current salary
base,” he said. “If a department is given
$10,000, it’s up to the department head to
spread it out and give everyone a raise or
just give a few faculty raises.”
The past two years, the University has devot
ed $5 million of the GUF to salary increases.
“Because of the GUF increase in the spring
of 1996, $2.2 million was generated to in
crease the graduate system stipends,” Taylor
said. “We have to stay competitive in all areas
of our faculty and staff.”
Based on nine-month faculty salaries of
1995, full professors at the University of Texas
averaged $76,393, compared to $71,568 at A&M.
A public hearing regarding the increase will
be held Monday at 7 p.m. in Rudder Theatre.
Taylor said students should take advan
tage of the opportunity to learn more about
the proposed increase.
“We encourage everyone to attend the
open public hearing Monday,” Taylor said. “It
will benefit all students to know how these
salary raises will affect A&M as an institution
of higher learning.”

dent the grant will improve the
department.
Dr. Jon Pitts, a professor of
mathematics, said the money
will be put to good use.
"I think |the grant] offers the
opportunity for the math de
partment to strengthen its ex
isting programs and to initiate
new and important programs,”
Pitts said.
The GAT group is trying to
link traditional mathematics to
cross-disciplinary research, in
dustry, technology and educa
tion.
Currently, the group is work
ing to include mathematical re
search in areas such as chem
istry, robotics, visualization,
computer-aided design and
database indexing.
