Old Business Continuing New Business Committee Reports Dr Kim Prisk reported on his meeting with the Task Force that is discussing Non-Senate academic employees personnel processes o Dr Prisk said he was questioned regarding the Adjunct series and articulated his concerns regarding series modifiers. His perception was that the Task Force was aware of these concerns and also aware that UCLA and UCSF do not enforce the requirements for use of modifiers. He said the Task Force seemed receptive to his concerns. Dr David Bailey provided some clarification on the Y Tax discussions: o The FTE funds cannot be taxed think of it this way: if there were no other funding, the value of the FTE could not be reduced. o Y Taxes can be taken from any funds other than FTE or other restricted funds, e.g., NIH funding.
