Majority
of incentive awards passed for staff The majority of incentive awards requested by staff members were approved by Chancellor Michael Ferrari, though monetary bonuses were not, said University Librarian and Staff Assembly Chairman Bob Seal Tuesday. The Staff Assembly sent a letter to Ferrari Feb. 1 proposing awards staff members could receive in addition to regular compensation to “recognize good work, remember birthdays and anniversary dates.” Seal told the Staff Assembly that Ferrari approved the following requests: That an anniversary letter be sent from the Chancellor’s office to staff members after they have worked at TCU for a year; vice chancellors create regular rewards for hard work or special achievements by employees in their division; a review and improvement of the service award system that recognizes staff members at five year intervals; more periodic staff outings and events and an award for staff similar to the Chancellor’s Award for Distinguished Teaching. Seal said Ferrari did not approve extending casual dress Fridays, already in effect during the summer, into the entire year. Ferrari did not approve cash bonuses for recruiting employees and holidays, citing financial constraints, Seal said. Ferrari was out of town and could not be reached for comment. “Overall I was very pleased with the meeting I had with him in regard to the idea we put forth and he again showed (staff) support (like he) has in the past,” Seal said.
