CELEBRATING 35 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

Third of staff feels unvalued

UK lists perceptions of both value, commitment to diversity as ’areas of opportunity'

By Shannon Mason

snrasrinlll’kykernei ton

More than one-third of staff mem-
bers do not feel valued by the university
according to a survey conducted by
UK‘s Human Resources Department.
Another third said they do feel valued
by the university.

These numbers were among the sur-
vey results the department presented to
the Human Resources Committee of the
Board of Trustees. More than half of all
staff members took the survey. complet-
ing it in October of last year and almost

half of faculty members completed the
survey in March.

In February UK President Lee Todd
announced a proposal for a 5 percent
salary pool increases for faculty mem~
bers and a 3 percent raise for staff mem-
bers. causing staff members to make a
move to unionize.

The Board of Trustees eventually
approved a second proposal to give fac-
ulty and staff each a 3.5 percent raise
and to give faculty members an extra
1.5 percent “catch-up" raise.

“We know we need to make salaries
more competitive." UK spokesman Jay

Blanton said. “That‘s a chief way of
showing how someone‘s valued."

Blanton said the survey reaffirmed
to Todd and his administration that
"salaries are an important issue.“

Kyle Dippery, chairman of the Staff
Senate. said it‘s up to the university to
make staff members feel valued.

“This is one of the areas where
changes need to be made," Dippery
said. “UK needs to demonstrate more
clearly that the university does value its
staff."

Dippery said that despite the fact

partner benefits

By Sean Rose

State Representative Kathy
Stein said domestic partner benefits
would be a positive step forward for
UK.

“A hospitable community for
gay and lesbian individuals shows a
community that will show econom-
ic development and a better quality
of life" said Stein. D—Lexington.

The university formally an-
nounced the formation of a commit—
tee to look into the matter yesterday

when it presented the results of the
Work-Life Survey to the Board of
Trustees” Human Resources Com—
mittee.

Domestic partner benefits were
listed as something staff and faculty
were interested in on a "work-life"
survey that was taken last academic
year. Domestic partner benefits
would give privileges similar to
marriage benefits to unmarried,
long-term couples, such as homo-
sexual couples.

Stein added that it would help

has been accused of forcing him
to go public.

“If you're a celebrity or

on [a gay couple) is a double
standard and I feel that's intrinsi-

that being gay is bad and it's g0—
ing to ruin your career. and I
don't think that's true.“

ident Neil Giuliano commends
those who come out on their
own terms. GLAAD “does not

Even though reaction to
Bass' news has been positive —
"Everyone's been very support-
vc," he told Extra — that does-
n‘t mean other gay celebrities
will be outing themselves any-
time soon. According to film
and TV producer Randy Barba-
to. there are huge stars in the
closet and they're under pressure
to"stay there for one big reason:
"Their agents. managers.
lawyers and the studios are all
terrified that it will destroy their
careers."

While some stars. like the
heterosexual Ryan Seacrest.
have played along and joked
about their sexuality. others
aren't laughing. In 1997. Kevin
Spacey was incensed when Es—
quire ran a cover story. “Kevin
Spacey Has a Secret." alleging
that everyone "knew" he was
gay. He called the story “dishon-
est and malicious.“ In February
2005. Marcia Cross was angry
when Barbara Walters qucs-
tioned her sexuality on The
View (see box, page 83). “I was
not happy about it." Cross. who
wed money manager Tom Ma-
honey in June. has said.

Unconfirmed speculation
can lead to backlash — some-
thing American Idol star Clay
Aiken faced after the National
Enquirer ran an interview with
John Paulus. a man claiming to
have had sex with the singer.
One month later. a small group
of Aiken fans. a.k.a. Claymates.
filed a complaint with the Feder-
al Trade Commission stating his
image as a wholesome Christian
had been misrepresented. Aiken
has never commented. but

Paulus. who was paid by the
magazine. later apologized.

that the survey was taken by
staff members more than four
months before Todd announced
his raise proposal, the survey is
still a fair representation of the
staff‘s opinions.

“I don’t think they would
(change) really.“ he said. “The
issues haven’t changed. People
might feel more strongly about
them. but the same issues are
there that were there all along."

Similarly. about one-third
of faculty members said they
felt valued by the university for
their scholarly and research
contributions. their teaching
contributions and for their ser-
vice contributions. Over half of
the faculty said they feel valued
by their department for the
same contributions.

Still. more than 70 percent
of staff and 60 percent of facul-
ty said they are satisfied with
their jobs at UK.

“I think that means that
overall. most people believe
UK is a good place to work,"
Dippery said. “But there are
things that need to be im-
proved."

The university listed faculty
and staff feeling valued. as well
as staff ’5 perceptions of respect
from faculty and staff. as “areas
of opportunity.”

Another “opportunity“ for
improvement listed was the
perception of the university‘s
commitment to diversity.

The only area on the survey
where results were broken
down by race was in reference
to how staff and faculty mem—
bers feel the university values
individual and cultural diversi-
ty.

About 60 percent of white
faculty members agreed that the
university valued individual
and cultural diversity. while 31
percent of black faculty mem-
bers agreed. About 45 percent
of faculty members in other
races said they thought the uni-
versity was committed to diver-
sity.

Seventy percent of white
staff members. 45 percent of
black staff members and 6|
percent of staff members in oth-
er races agreed with the same
statement.

Todd said he had not
viewed the results closely
enough to comment on the dis-
crepancy in response by differ-
ent races.

“l have not looked at the re-
sults thoroughly enough to say

whether or not the results var-
ied between the various demo—
graphic groups,“ Todd said. “I
do however, think this survey
sample is an accurate represen-
tation of our employees."

Todd listed the overall
strengths of the survey as em-
ployees‘ satisfaction with their
supervisors, job satisfaction and
quality of life.

Todd said the “areas of op—
portunity“ were as he and other
had predicted.

“Overall we found the sur—
vey very beneficial,“ he said.
“We predicted much of what
the survey found. We knew the
large concerns would be with
employee salaries. university
resources and funding."

Staff. faculty want new
services added to benefits

Compressed work weeks, a
college tuition program for em-
ployees‘ children or dependents
and telecommuting were the
top three most valuable pro-
grams staff members said they
wanted to see implemented.

Faculty members said they
wanted to see the same tuition
program for their children and a
more comprehensive Employee
Assistance Program for coun-
seling in personal and family
issues.

Faculty members were also
given an open—ended question
asking what programs they
would like to see implemented.
Of 83 responses. the most fre-
quent comment was for domes-
tic partner benefits.

Although Dippery said he
could not comment for the en—
tire staff senate on this issue. he
said that he personally supports
It.

“But I have to make the dis-
tinction that that’s me speaking
for myself. not the Staff Sen-
ate.“ Dippery said.

Dippery said that he and the
Staff Senate also support the
college tuition program for em-
ployees‘ family members.

“This is something the Staff
Senate has tried to support in
the past." Dippery said.

The Work-Life office has
already formed a committee to
look into the cost and feasibility
of domestic partner benefits.

It is also forming different
committees to look at expand—
ing tuition benefits to depen—
dents and spouses. implement-
ing an employee assistance pro-
gram and other initiatives.

vey results. visit

BENEFITS

the school remain competitive
for faculty and staff when other
schools and corporations al-
ready offer the benefits.

The University of
Louisville was the first public
college in Kentucky to imple-
ment domestic partner benefits:
they‘ll be active in January. U
of L spokesman John Drees
told The Kernel in a recent in-
terview that much of their deci-
sion was based on remaining
competitive.

"The university looked at it
from a couple view points."
Drees said. “We‘re trying to
compete with some of the best
colleges in the country for top
faculty. and we're competing
with the best corporations in
Louisville for top staff."

UK President Lee Todd

wouldn‘t give an opinion on
the matter but said the universi~
ty was definitely looking into
it.

"i will say it is something
that our work—life survey found
our employees were concemed
with in regards to tuition for
their domestic partners or de-
pendents." Todd said. "It is
something we will consider to
stay competitive."

Calls to other area state
legislators were not returned
last night.

Stein said that she hoped
UK would pass the measures
despite some legislative oppo-
nents who have control over
UK‘s state funding.

“1 know the university is
frightened by some of the
veiled threats by some people
in the general assembly." Stein
said. “(Bull I think there's
enough of us in the general as—
sembly who are fed up with the
homophobia in the general as-
sembly."

Black Violin brings hip-hop, iazz

By Ellio Fairbanks

If you‘ve never seen an
R&B. rap violin group in per-
formance. and chances are pret-
ty good that you haven‘t. oppor-
tunity to see this show is knock—
ing.
Black Violin. three time
“Showtime at the Apollo"
champions, will be at UK on
Thursday at 8 pm. as a part of
the Student Activities Board's
Spotlight Jazz. concert series.

Black Violin is a ground-
breaking group composed of
two musicians who have been
friends since middle school.
Both Wil-B and Kev Marcus
have been performing in orches-
tras their entire lives.

WiI~B. who began his musi-
cal career playing the saxo-
phone in his high school band.
also mastered stringed instru-
ments when he was mistakenly
asked to be a member of the
string section.

Kev Marcus. who attended
the same high school. began
with the violin and never
swayed away from it. Both men
have been members of numer-

ous orchestras and credit Mos
Def. Jill Scott and Talib Kwali
as influences.

Spotlight Jazz is a series of

"All SAB
committees
are student-run." Schwartz said.
“We all get together and try to
decide what groups to ask to
come to UK."

Picking musical acts. espe-
cially jazz artists. is not always
an easy task. as it‘s hard to
gauge what students will like.

“We try to find contempo-
rary groups that students will
come see." Schwartz said. “We
sometimes struggle when
choosing jazz acts.”

Black Violin should be just

opened for the

Eagles and 50

Cent. They
have also appeared on "The
Tonight Show“ and “Jimmy
Kimmel Live."

Black Violin credits itself
with "a neo-classical. innova-
tive. urban style of violin mix-
tures. vocals and funk."

Schwartz hopes that this ap-
peals to students.

“We‘re really hoping to get
more students out at the Spot-
light Jazz shows." Schwartz
said.
