Compensation Committee
The Mission of the Board of Trustees Compensation Committee is to ensure Clemson University’s compensation policy is market-level competitive, supports achievement of top 20 status, maintains R1 Carnegie classification, and continues excellence in the University’s athletic programs. Such policy must apply to all employees of the University. The Board has delegated administrative authority to Clemson University’s President, Chief Human Resources Officer, and Executive Leadership Team to implement the policy. Further, the Board expects Clemson University's compensation policy and implementation procedures to be consistent, driven by budgetary constraints and good fiscal stewardship, tied directly to employee performance that is linked to objective standards, and targeted at competitive market levels for similar jobs in local, state, regional, or national markets as appropriate.
