Faculty members receive salaries as compensation for their contributions to the University in the form of teaching, research, and University service. Salaries are set on an annual basis, but increases are not automatic. The annual salary of members of the faculty is normally adjusted for the ensuing academic year each July 1. Salary adjustments reflect a variety of factors, including consideration of the level of activity and quality of individual performance in teaching and research; contributions to the University community; competitive salaries in particular fields; budgetary constraints; and, depending upon the school or department, relevant artistic, clinical, or other activities. In certain professional schools compensation may be limited by the amount of external research funding that directly supports a given faculty member's salary. In the School of Medicine the amount of salary that a clinical faculty member may earn above the established base may be influenced by the clinical income generated by the individual or by the department.
