FAM aims to protect Miami’s educational mission by fighting for fair compensation, job security, and true shared governance. Which set of proposals reflects your values?
| Issue | Management proposal | FAM’s proposal |
Compensation | - 1.4% average annual raise
- Keeps Miami salaries lower than inflation and peer institutions
- Reduces your promotion bump
- No salary equity measures, no transparency: Board just decides unilaterally
| - 7% average annual raise
- Salary minimums and equity adjustments
- Brings salaries in line with inflation
- Pursues salary equity and transparency
|
Promotion & Evaluation | - No clarity or transparency in the evaluation process
- Punitive post-tenure review like those in TX and FL
| - Greater fairness and transparency in the promotion and evaluation process — beneficial for ALL faculty and librarians
|
Job Security | - Intends to drag librarians and TCPL faculty backwards
- Takes away promotion and job security measures won through shared governance
| - Strengthens job security for ALL members
- Holds management accountable to established policies and practices
- Grievance and discipline language protects members from unreasonable discipline or firing
|
Academic Freedom | - No meaningful academic freedom language in the contract
- Academic freedom is “not a working condition”
| - Defines academic freedom according to longstanding national AAUP principles
- Ensures management stands by those principles
|
