    • These titles coincide with significant administrative assignments beyond the standard research, teaching, and service duties normally expected of faculty members on nine month contracts.
    • The level of SAC payment depends on the scope of administrative duties, with a range from $9,000 to $25,000.
    • Each SAC is awarded with a term of one year, subject to annual review and possible renewal.
