A&P Faculty Salary Adjustment Process

We are also pleased to announce that targeted salary adjustments will be administered through an “A&P Faculty Salary Adjustment Process” during this fiscal year. The process will be managed by the Vice Presidents working in concert with Human Resources and communicated to the recipient when approved. Under this process, adjustments to base salary may include pay practices such as promotion, changes in duties, retention, and equity-based adjustments. More information regarding the process will be available in the near future.

Thank you for your hard work and continuous commitment to JMU. Senior management will continue to make innovative compensation solutions across the university a high priority.
