Faculty Salary Parking

Salary Parking

  • The College of the Environment maintains through Salary Parking a reserve to assist schools/departments and faculty members by paying temporary expenses associated with recruitment, retention, retirement incentives, emeritus teaching, student support, equipment replacement, and new initiatives. These reserve funds are obtained, in part, from the salary and benefits recaptured by the Dean’s Office upon the retirement of faculty until it is re-allocated.
