Board of Visitors minutes December 12, 1947 | ||
SALARIES OF MEDICAL FACULTY
Visitor: Dr. Jordan.
Dr. Jordan proposed the adoption of an interim plan to be made retroactive to July 1, 1947.
The interim plan was simply the master plan in effect up to June 30, 1945, with one exception - that
the ceiling on earnings be raised from $15,000 to $20,000 per year. Dr. Jordan further recommended
that the permanent plan as shown below be installed July 1, 1948.
President Darden pointed out that Dr. Jordan had been requested to submit an interim plan
which would be made retroactive to July 1, 1947. The President further stated that he believed the
interim plan should not, however, be retroactive, but should be made effective January 1, 1948. He
proposed that the interim plan be made effective January 1, 1948 and that the permanent plan be placed
in operation as soon as arrangements could be made to finance such a program. The Board unanimously
approved the President's proposal. The permanent plan provisions are as follows:
PERMANENT PLAN - SALARIES OF MEDICAL FACULTY
Head of the Department of Surgery and Gynecology - Salary from the University, $15,000.00;
fees from limited private practice credited to the department, not to individual.
Head of the Department of Internal Medicine - Salary from the University, $15,000.00; fees

All professors of grades Full, Associate, and Assistant are required to contribute 20% of

support of research.
The annual surpluses above ceilings from private practice earnings are to be allowed to
accumulate and remain intact to be placed in a common fund from which to draw for the improvement and
development of the Medical School as a whole. All financial transactions must clear through the Office
of the Bursar.
And be it further -
RESOLVED that the salaries of all employees of medical departments other than doctors be
brought in line with the State Classification plan for such employees.
