Since 1962, the Coordinating Council has annually developed recommendations for the legislature and governor of California on faculty salary increases and other benefits at the University of California and the California state colleges. Because the Council and other agencies had expressed concern about various aspects of the procedures used in composing the report, the Council's staff was instructed to examine these procedures and make recommendations for changes. This document represents the results of the examination. Proposed revisions were designed to overcome major difficulties in: the timing of the report; the institutions used for comparison purposes; and calculating procedures leading to the formulation of staff recommendations to the Council. Each of the changes is discussed in Chapters 1, 2 and 3. Tables accompany the text. The Council adopted the revised procedures on July 15, 1969. (JS)
