UUP Liaison’s Report
Dan Harms
As of May 27, negotiations for the next contract began, with UUP delivering its list of conceptual proposals to the state. I’ll be discussing these at the meeting. Two more meetings with the state are scheduled for June.
I recently requested the list of the state titles for academics, in order to get some idea of librarian promotions. The figures below are taken from those SUNY academic faculty at associate level or higher:
Librarians Non-librarians
Asst. Lib. / Instructor 7% 2%
Sr. Asst Lib. / Asst. Prof. 37% 25%
Associate 46% 38%
Full 9% 30%
Distinguished 1% 5%
To attempt to mitigate questions about seniority and accomplishment regarding the higher levels, I looked at the population at associate level or above (thus, people who have likely been promoted at least once already):
Percent of librarians at full or distinguished rank: 19%
Percent of non-librarians at full or distinguished rank: 48%
