penditure of funds entrusted to the University. The level of compensation paid to University employees will be comparable to that generally paid for work of a similar character by other employers located in the recruiting area and may be adjusted to maintain internal equity based on position classification factors. T o encourage meritorious performance, an employee who consistently exceeds the standards of performance for his position may receive added monetary recognition. The President shall issue rules and procedures and take other action as needed to carry out this policy. Pay comparability with the local area is provided for in Section 36k of the Civil Service Statute. The proposed policy integrates this statutory mandate with the judicious use of public funds and with internal job relationships. The proposed policy also provides for added monetary recognition to employees who consistently exceed the standards of performance for their positions. A copy of the rules which the President proposes to issue upon approval of the above policy by the Board of Trustees is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. I concur in the recommendation that the above policy be approved as herein presented. Upon its approval, appropriate rules and procedures will be issued as indicated and modified from time to time as circumstances warrant in accord with policies established.

On motion of Mr. Jones, this recommendation was approved.
