What forms of non-financial compensation do your department chairs receive?

A large office, a parking spot, and a bigger desk--though he may have bought that himself. Damn little for all the aggravation.

In larger departments, some load credit. In smaller departments, nothing.

The MLA has done a study on it. Go to www.adfl.org and check it out in the Bulletin they publish for foreign language chairs. |

Power or the perception of such.
In fact, many receive some financial compensation in addition to release time. The compensation might be as little as $50 per month but could be much more.

Back in my chair days, I eventually got about 1.5 -2 months salary and reduction to a 2/2 load (our institution has a normal 4/4 load)

2/2 load, financial compensation, and a better office.

£4000 per year and less teaching. Not worth it, IMHO.

2/2 load (but that hasn't happened in ten years), stipend, larger office with secretary (a must), summer school (We hold a lot of orientations during the summer, so it's necessary in order to enroll students properly)

Here it is a one course reduction (to a 2/2 load), about $3000 during the academic year, another $3000 for the summer and a guaranteed summer course, which is worth about $4000. So, you end up with a 2/2/1 load rather than a 3/3 load, get paid about $10k, and work about 10k more hours a year.... no thanks!
