FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15
THE CPCC FOUNDATION HAS NO FULL TIME EMPLOYEES. KEY PERSONNEL IN SUPPORT OF THE FOUNDATION ARE COLLEGE EMPLOYEES AND ARE SUBJECT TO COMPENSATION, CLASSIFICATION AND ALL OTHER PERSONNEL POLICIES OF THE COLLEGE. THE COLLEGE PERIODICALLY REVIEWS ITS CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION STRUCTURE. HISTORIES OF THOSE REVIEWS ARE: (1) IN 1997 THE WILLIAM M MERCER FIRM REVIEWED THE SALARY STRUCTURE; AS A RESULT, IN SEPTEMBER 1997 THE COLLEGE ADOPTED A NEW CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION SYSTEM. (2) IN SPRING 2004 THE SEGAL COMPANY (A BENEFITS, COMPENSATION AND HR CONSULTING FIRM) CONDUCTED A FACULTY AND NON-FACULTY COMPENSATION PROGRAM REVIEW. THIS COMPARED COLLEGE POSITIONS, INCLUDING THOSE POSITIONS SUPPORTING THE CPCC FOUNDATION, TO VARIOUS MARKET DATA. MODIFICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS WERE ADOPTED AS APPROPRIATE. (3) IN SPRING 2007 THE SEGAL COMPANY UPDATED THEIR PREVIOUS STUDY AND RESEARCHED ADDITIONAL POSITIONS TO THE MARKET. (4) THE CPCC HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT PERIODICALLY RESEARCHES CERTAIN POSITIONS TO THE MARKET TO DETERMINE ADEQUACY AND REASONABLENESS OF THE COMPENSATION. (5) THE LEAGUE OF INNOVATION CEO COMPENSATION STUDY IS REVIEWED ANNUALLY. THIS STUDY PROVIDES DATA ON CEO AND 2ND LEVEL SENIOR ADMINISTRATORS' SALARIES AND BENEFITS. (6) IN OCTOBER 2010 MERCER COMPLETED A COMPETITIVE ASSESSMENT OF TOTAL REWARDS FOR THE COLLEGE PRESIDENT CONSISTENT WITH THE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. CPCC AND THE FOUNDATION SEEK TO COMPENSATE THE PRESIDENT IN A FAIR AND EQUITABLE MANNER. FAIR AND EQUITABLE COMPENSATION FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WITH THE PRESIDENT'S QUALIFICATIONS MEANS PROVIDING TOTAL REWARD OPPORTUNITIES COMMENSURATE WITH THE 75TH PERCENTILE TO THE 90TH PERCENTILE OF LIKE TOP PERFORMING COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND/OR THE 25TH PERCENTILE TO MEDIAN OF THE BROADER HIGHER EDUCATIONAL MARKET. THE PRESIDENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CARRYING OUT THE MISSION AND STRATEGY OF CPCC ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD AND HAS PROVEN TO BE A TOP PERFORMING EXECUTIVE. IT IS CPCC'S PHILOSOPHY TO PROVIDE COMPENSATION THROUGH RECURRING BASE SALARY, AND A COMPETITIVE BENEFITS PACKAGE, INCLUDING RETIREMENT BENEFITS. THE STUDY REQUIRED AN IN-DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRESIDENT'S POSITION. REPRESENTATIVES FROM MERCER HELD DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CHAIR OF CPCC'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THE COLLEGE'S EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR CPCC FOUNDATION TO GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRESIDENT'S POSITION AT CPCC, THE MAJOR OBJECTIVES FOR THE COLLEGE OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS AND TO UNDERSTAND THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TOP EXECUTIVE POSITION IN ACHIEVING THESE OBJECTIVES. THE ANALYSIS PROVIDED DATA NECESSARY FOR DETERMINING THE REASONABLENESS OF THE COMPENSATION REWARDS PACKAGE FOR THE TOP EXECUTIVE POSITION. THE COMPETITIVE MARKET FOR THE ANALYSIS INCLUDED COMPARABLY SIZED COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF COMPARABLE SIZE AND SCOPE OF OPERATIONS OR THOSE THAT COULD BE COMPETITORS FOR TALENT. TO SUPPLEMENT THE PEER GROUP ANALYSIS, MERCER ALSO LOOKED TO PUBLISHED SURVEY DATA. THE STUDY CONCLUDED THAT CPCC IS IN GENERAL PAYING CONSISTENTLY, IF NOT SLIGHTLY BELOW THE PHILOSOPHY OF PROVIDING TOTAL REWARD OPPORTUNITIES COMMENSURATE WITH THE 75TH PERCENTILE TO THE 90TH PERCENTILE OF LIKE TOP PERFORMING COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND/OR THE 25TH PERCENTILE TO MEDIAN OF THE BROADER HIGHER EDUCATIONAL MARKET.
