Whereas the University has pursued over the past five years an intensive program of faculty salary improvement, whose goal was to place mean Cornell faculty salary at least at the mean salary of faculty in their peer institutions;

Whereas this program has dramatically succeeded in achieving this overall goal;

Therefore be it resolved that the University Faculty Senate acknowledges the evident success of this program;

Therefore be it further resolved that the University Faculty Senate extends its sincere appreciation to those individuals whose efforts initiated and sustained this program, recognizing, in particular, the important contributions of:

• Peter Stein, (former) Dean of the Faculty,
• Hunter Rawlings, University President,
• Carolyn (Biddy) Martin, University Provost,
• Carolyn Ainslie, Vice President for Planning and Budget
