We don't cap--our faculty are 9-month and we allow up to 3 full summer months.  However, when budgeting for this, I always lightly remind faculty that, if they do full summer pay, it is for full summer effort, and that means no extended trips to DisneyWorld or grandma's with the spouse and kids.  Often, faculty will rethink their request and will back off to 2.5 - 2.75 months just so they can get a little break.

If your faculty members have a 9-month appointment, why cap it at 2.5 months in the first place?

Subject: [RESADM-L] Faculty summer salary in excess of 2/9ths

Dear All:
We are looking at establishing a process by which our faculty may seek a waiver to exceed the campus-imposed cap on summer salary earnings
(currently at 2.5 summer months maximum).   Do any of you currently
limit summer comp from sponsored activities & if so, do you have a process by which exceptions are granted?  Can you please share that process and any certifications or forms you use in evaluating/documenting?

Many thanks to everyone...
