Summary

Institutional Base Salary (“IBS”) is the annual compensation paid by Howard University (“University”) through a school or college or an administrative unit for an individual’s professional services, whether they consist of research, teaching, clinical or other activities, and whether the individual is employed full-time or part-time. The IBS is established annually and confirmed by letter to each full-time faculty member who falls under the scope of the policy. IBS may not be increased solely as a result of the University having received an externally sponsored award.
