A brief description of the standard(s) against which compensation was assessed:

* The University will maintain a compensation program that is competitive with other regional and national employers and comparable colleges within the University's defined recruiting markets. The University goal is to be positioned at 90% of the median of the market for institutions of comparable classification and size and in conjunction with the local and regional general industry markets for which Indiana State University competes for talent.

* In view of the diversity of jobs within the University community, it is recognized that a single recruiting market does not exist. Therefore, for purposes of defining the "market", the following guidelines will apply:

o For management/executive positions, peer institutions of comparable classification and size covering the nation and/or broad geographic region will serve as the market.

o For professional and administrative staff, peer institutions and general industry employers within the geographic region, where applicable, will serve as the market.

o For non-exempt staff, general industry employers within the local and regional areas will serve as the market.
