Faculty Recruitment and Retention
Faculty Retention Fund
The goal of the Faculty Retention Fund is to enable deans and department heads to meet the competitive needs of Purdue’s most highly valued and at-risk faculty members. Funds may be requested from the Office of the Provost for preemptive salary enhancements, counter-offers or salary equity adjustments when retention is of concern.
Merit Salary Review for Faculty
On an annual basis, Purdue University provides guidance regarding the award of merit increases and one-time special merit pay for faculty, administrative-professional staff and clerical and service staff. Heads should consult with their Dean and Director of Financial Affairs for college-specific templates and procedures for merit salary review.
