Charlie,

THe grant basically covers student tuition, but there is a small part of it
to cover adminsitrative costs, including some salary time for the PI.  And
the faculty member in question, by taking over as department chair, becomes
ex officio the PI on this grant.

But I guess this wouldn't fundamentally affect the issue of whether the
added pay is considered base salary or not.

Thanks.
Conrad

I too am curious about the added "wrinkle".   What kind of grant is this?
