Compensation Committee
SGA is sometimes called upon to give feedback to the dean regarding compensation issues. As these issues are sometimes very complex, or require one to have a lot of background information, the SGA Board feels it important to have a pool of people with this knowledge on standby to give informed feedback, and play a role in decision making concerning compensation issues with a firm understanding of the possible impact on staff. Here is the charge for the SGA Standing Committee on Compensation.
