POLICIES GOVERNING COMPENSATION FOR PERSONAL SERVICES FOR FACULTY AND STAFF EMPLOYED ON GOVERNMENTAL SPONSORED PROGRAMS
The policies stated below are based on requirements set forth by the United States Government and are applicable to all programs at the institution where governmental funds are involved.
A. Faculty and Staff on Ten Month Contracts
1. Faculty and staff may be assigned fully or proportionately to a governmental sponsored program during the regular ten month academic year period. Compensation for work on governmental programs, however, cannot exceed the individual's base salary for the respective period and extra compensation above the base salary is not allowable.
2. Faculty and staff may be assigned fully or proportionately to governmental programs during the regular summer session. Compensation for work performed will be determined for each individual according to his base academic year salary. Work performed wholly on governmental programs or in combination with general university teaching or other activity may not exceed 2/9 of the individual's base salary.
3. Faculty and staff may be assigned work on a governmental program during a period not included in the base salary period (example, August) and receive compensation based on the normal salary rates.
B. Faculty and Staff on Twelve Month Contracts
a) Faculty and staff employed on a twelve month contractual basis may participate on government sponsored programs, however, such participation may not result in compensation above that stipulated in the contractual agreement for the year of service in question.

b) A faculty or staff member employed full-time on a governmental program is normally expected to participate in institutional committee or other assignments at a minimal level, however, according to policy no extra-compensation may be provided for such activity.
C. Use of Consultants
According to governmental regulations concerning consulting "intrauniversity consulting is assumed to be undertaken as a university obligation requiring no compensation in addition to the base salary." However in unusual cases where consultation is across departmental lines or involves a separate or remote operation, compensation for consulting is allowable, providing, however, that such agreement for compensation in this instance is approved in writing by the sponsoring agency.
The rate of pay for consultants will usually be in accordance with the policy of the sponsoring agenicy taking into consideration the level of importance or expertise provided.
As a general university rule, a full-time faculty or staff member on a ten-month contract may not spend more than 40 days during the ten-month period in the period in the performance of consultative activities. In any case consultative activities must be so scheduled as to not impair the individual's normal university assignment.
The conditions regarding consulting stated above apply also for faculty and staff on twelve month contracts, however, the maximum days of consulting activity is limited to 50 days per calendar year.
There must be evidence that the services to be provided are essential and cannot be provided by persons receiving salary support under the grant or otherwise compensated for their services.
There must be evidence that a selection process has been employed to secure the most qualified persons available, and that the selection has been approved by a senior officer of the institution.
There must be evidence that the charge is appropriate considering the qualifications of the consultant, his normal charges, and the nature of the services rendered.

Minutes Concert Series/Festival Committee September 24, 1974
Present: Wade Goss, Earl Hooks, Robert Holmes, Gladys Forde, Roger Askew, presiding
Absent: David Driskell, Robert Mauch, Lula Brooks
Mr. Askew noted that Terry Adkins will be the student committee member from the Art Department; to date, no information concerning the student representatives from the SGA or the Music Department has been received. Letters requesting this information were sent from President Lawson to the president of the SGA and the Chairman of the Music Department on September 13.
Mr. Askew reported that because information regarding the current budget was received after Commencement, it was necessary to plan the program for this year without the usual democratic interchange. There are three events scheduled: The Goombay Singers of Nassau on October 3; Joyce Finch Johnson, pianist, on December 4; and George Shirley, tenor, on February 2.
The following preparations are being made for the Goombay Singers:
Mr. Holmes - transportation Mr. Askew - Users Dr. Forde - space and assistance from physical facilities Mrs. Lula Brooks - reception in ISC The singers will bring their own programs.
Fisk students from the Bahamas and the Orchestrated Crowd will assist the singers. Mrs. Florence Weaver, director of the ISC, is assisting Agreta Eneas in providing the costumes for the Fisk participants.
Mr. Holmes suggested that the Ambassador from Nassau to the U.S. be invited to the campus for the concert.
Mr. Hooks indicated that one of his former students had constructed a large sundial in traditional Bahamian style that might be used as a backdrop in the ISC
It was the concensus that we should, at our next meeting, discuss plans for the Joyce Finch Johnson concert. Since she is an alumna it is conceivable that the Alumni office might want to assist in planing a reception for her.
Plans for the 1975 Arts Festival were discussed. Mr. Askew reported that Arthur Mitchell and his group The Dance Theatre of Harlem were anxious to come. However, since we were unable to give a firm committment during the summer, he has made other arrangements. Alvin Ailey no longer accepts one night stands; he will come only for 3 nights and $15,000. This automatically eliminates him. Geoffrey Holder has been engaged for a one man show.
MS01.02.01.B02.F17.0016
The Art Show will be entitled Rhapsody in Color by the artist, William T. Williams.
Randy Weston, a jazz artist, is integrated in appearing with the Orchestrated Crowd but Mr. Holmes suggested that it might be wise to try for more variety since we have had three pianists in succession (Billy Taylor, Duke Ellington, Eubie Blake).
The Stagecrafters will present Purlie again for the Festival. Since no represetnative [representative] from the Music Department was present, there was no report on festival plans for the Jubilee Singers or the Choir.
Mr. Askew hopes that we can submit names of suggestions for the Humanitarian Award to President Lawson in time for him to submit to the Board at its October meeting. Names suggested were: Nancy Hanks, Brock Peters, and Russel and Rowena Jelliffe.
Mr. Askew suggested that we begin to plan for concert series and festival 1975-76 as our goal is to complete most of these plans by the end of the first semester. Information on available artists as well as taped performances of one or two are available in the Dramatics and Speech office.
It was suggested that we contact Mrs. Shockley in order to determine the feasibility of planning a program similar to the Profiles premiere at the time that the papers of Mr. Douglas and Mrs. Southern are formally presented to the University.
The next meeting of the Committee will be on October 8 at 4 p.m. in the Dramatics and Speech office.
Respectfully Submitted,
Gladys I. Forde
