• To reward employees on the basis of work performance;

• To administer pay equitably and consistently;

• To establish a compensation policy that is consistent with the judicious expenditure of funds entrusted to The University; and

• To ensure accountability for compliance with The University of Texas System Board of Regents Rules and Regulations and statutory requirements.
