Wow - does this work? Is it legal? Any problems from anyone? I am
intrigued. I have the article and will read it tonight.

Subject: [RESADM-L] incentives
Has anyone else seen the article in today's Chronicle about an
initiative at
Univ. of Southern Mississippi intended to provide an incentive for
faculty
members to request salary support in external funding proposals?
According
to the article, "a faculty member who uses money from a research grant
to
cover 25 percent of his or her university salary and turns the savings
back
to the institution will earn a bonus of 10 percent [from the
university].
Professors who use outside research money to cover all of their salary
will
earn a supplement equal to 30 percent of their university income."
Do any of your institutions have a similar initiative? Call it a naive
question, but why isn't this a kickback?
