Our institution is dealing with this same problem.  We are also a predominantly undergraduate state university with a large percentage of state funding.  I would be interested in hearing how other schools handle this.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Allowing grant employees to earn more than 100% salary

As a predominantly undergraduate state college with more state than
federal grant funding, some faculty members are challenging our present
policy.  That policy follows federal regulations for all grants,
regardless of funding source, and limits grant employee earnings to only
100% of their base salaries.  The major argument is that their
state-negotiated contract allows faculty members to earn up to 33.5%
more than base.

Do any of you have policies that allow a different earnings cap for
non-federal funding?

Thank you for your information and guidance.
