Members Present: Marwa Bassiouni, Denny Hackel, Jim Maynard, Heather McFadden, Chair, Robert Newsom, Kevin Niemi, Jeff Shokler
Guests: Paul DeLuca, Steve Lund, Steve Stern, Bob Lavigna, Rachel Jeris, Tim Norris, Soyeon Shim
The meeting was called to order at 2:04 p.m.
The minutes of October 10, 2013 were approved.
Guest: Provost Paul DeLuca
Provost DeLuca asked ASEC to provide 1 - 2 academic staff names for the Dean of International Studies Search and Screen Committee. Candidates should be reasonably familiar with the activities of International Studies. Upcoming searches beginning in January include the Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning and Vice Provost for Faculty and Staff.
Provost DeLuca also talked about Data Center aggregation. Modernization on campus is required to provide a modern high performance data center. UW-Madison has approximately 97 data centers currently on campus.
Guest: Dean Soyeon Shim
Dean Shim talked about the Committee on Academic Staff Issues (CASI) in the School of Human Ecology. She mentioned they recently renamed themselves and held a breakfast for academic staff. Heather McFadden gave an overview of academic staff on campus. Dean Shim also presented materials regarding the bullying issue. Rachel Jeris from Legal Services talked about possible avenues to address this issue.
Standing Committee Reports
Compensation and Economic Benefits Committee (CEBC): Heather McFadden reported that CEBC will work on the issues of multiple roles, portfolio of tools, and progress steps in title series. CEBC elected Jason Jankoski as co-chair.
Guests: Steve Lund, Bob Lavigna, and Steve Stern
Steve L. and Bob reported on progress towards a new Critical Compensation Fund (CCF) exercise. Discussion focused on a number of issues including the percentage of employees to target, the minimum percentage employees can receive, and the percentage of previous CCF recipients who could receive another award. This exercise is scheduled to release as soon as possible after November 1.
There was a follow up from a meeting between Steve L., Steve S. and UW System Human Resources. It will be possible for UW-Madison to use Extraordinary Salary Ranges (ESR) based on data proxy methodology to justify CCF awards for employees within 3% of the salary cap in a non-promotable title. Market is the only rationale for these adjustments. There was also discussion regarding the possible of creation of a Program Manager IV if helpful to UW-Madison. Steve Lund will evaluate this option.
