Janet May, UAB chief human resources officer, presented the item. May said Mullins, a UAB employee since 1999, served in multiple senior financial roles and began an interim vice president for finance role on Dec. 1, 2024, after the departure of Dr. Brian Burnett. UAB President Ray Watts evaluated the position and determined a structural change was appropriate, splitting the former senior vice president role into two positions; Mullins was recommended for the vice president for finance role.

The approved compensation package sets Mullins’s base salary at $442,728 per year effective April 15, 2025. Mullins will also receive a supplemental retirement payment of $50,000 per year for five years, with the first payment on Dec. 31, 2025; the supplemental retirement is eligible for renewal after the final payment on Dec. 31, 2029. At the time of presentation, Mullins’s then-current base salary was $402,480 per year.

The committee moved and seconded the item, heard congratulatory remarks, and approved the appointment and compensation by voice vote.

Why it matters: The approval formalizes a reorganized finance leadership structure at UAB and provides details of compensation and supplemental retirement that will affect UAB’s senior administration payroll and budgeting.

Trustees offered congratulatory remarks to President Watts for his selection; no changes to terms were made in committee. The item passed by voice vote and will proceed through UAB and system HR for contract execution.","The Compensation Committee approved the appointment of Stephanie Mullins as UAB vice president for finance with a base salary increase to $442,728 effective April 15, 2025, and a $50,000-per-year supplemental retirement payment for five years starting Dec. 31, 2025.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6100669,"Board approves 20 renewable faculty contracts at the University of Alabama under Board Rule 302",139,802000,941000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2812738-fb3cfeb84a58dc52678925bdcbaf21d6&start=802&end=941","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2812738-fb3cfeb84a58dc52678925bdcbaf21d6/thumbnail_802000.jpg","/articles/6100669/Alabama/Board-approves-20-renewable-faculty-contracts-at-the-University-of-Alabama-under-Board-Rule-302","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6100669-0ca6b2688ceeb3808f6b231b9332defd/orig.mp4?Expires=1775539247&Signature=Chalw5yxC3h0bYBdZxXUboPonmV-yLjuuRB0LwIKbh5e1UXL0X-AGCRUqzJfXAHrpWhBhdXFyktDReRvW9vgxD3PE1n0XyUeajyij3zl4jPuuO0GOIdg2MWinCbMTsujGIl~mUBFUgyyk4VMURtXMMXlfOpGC9KFtcT7zdJAahYm~oPJaid4KraU44nneUS1mKSPgHhtN-PDn-8p6ynBmppsv-EgnDDZw395vMOdxMOk70liCY1yvG5AGBlvxr~kmhf~Rr8PMhP93FIygxkgWctAv03L0Ph4HXOskHd0UtAtLYNdBWU9rFaocHFnWCnCmua7wUVQ69SHMQqkrGhm-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The University of Alabama Board Compensation Committee approved 20 renewable faculty contracts for the University of Alabama, acting under Board Rule 302.

The committee considered the 20 items collectively and approved them by voice vote.

Why it matters: These approvals finalize personnel actions at the university level for academic appointments that the colleges identified as requiring board approval under board rule. The contracts affect academic staffing in engineering, business, law and community health sciences.

Trustees offered no substantive changes or conditions during committee discussion.

Dr. Chuck Carr, UAH president, presented the item and reviewed Smith’s timeline at UAH: hired in 2016, interim athletic director in 2019, permanent in 2020, and now recommended for a new three-year contract. Carr credited Smith with hires and competitive success across UAH athletics, citing both men’s and women’s basketball appearances in the NCAA tournament and a lengthy winning streak referenced in the meeting.

The committee moved and seconded consideration and approved the contract by voice vote.

Why it matters: The extension formalizes leadership at UAH athletics and recognizes recent program accomplishments described by the president. Trustees noted the absence of an operational learning curve given Smith’s experience in the role.

Carr summarized Smith’s accomplishments: hires of coaches Mick Hedgepeth (men’s basketball) and Alan Sharp (women’s basketball), conference championships and all-conference/all-American selections, and sustained success across programs. Trustees offered congratulatory remarks and approved the extension without amendment.

The contracts include two-year extensions and new agreements for multiple football assistants and staff: Jamarcus Shepherd (assistant head coach and co-offensive coordinator) returned on a two-year deal at $1,100,000 per year; Ryan Grubb (assistant coach and offensive coordinator) on a two-year contract at $1,000,000 per year; Freddie Roach (associate head coach/defensive line) extended two years with a first-year salary of $1.2 million and $1.3 million in year two. Other approvals included David Baloo (director of sports performance) at $950,000 for a three-year extension, Jeff Allen (senior associate athletic director for health and performance) at $525,000 for three years, and Preston Murphy (men’s basketball assistant coach) at $675,000 through April 30, 2027.

The committee voted to consider the 17 items collectively and approved them by voice vote.

Why it matters: The contracts solidify the athletics staff roster ahead of upcoming seasons and reflect the university’s effort to remain competitive within the Southeastern Conference. Committee discussion centered on whether the packages matched marketplace norms and would promote continuity in the athletics department.

Greg Byrne, University of Alabama athletics director, told trustees the staff packages were shaped by market benchmarking. “There are play callers within the SEC that are in that range. And so it was a market rate for us,” Byrne said, adding that the university’s Chief Financial Officer (referred to in the meeting as Calvasey) and the athletics finance team monitor market levels for all sports.

Trustee questions focused on market comparators and whether the packages would help maintain staff stability for head coach DeBoer’s program; Byrne said the contracts were designed to do both. The committee moved and seconded consideration of the items collectively; after a brief opportunity for comment, the compensation committee approved the collective package by voice vote.

Details (selected items): Jamarcus Shepherd — two years through Feb. 28, 2027, $1,100,000 per year. Ryan Grubb — two years through Feb. 28, 2027, $1,000,000 per year. Freddie Roach — two-year extension through Feb. 28, 2027; $1.2M first year, $1.3M second year. Jeff Allen — three years through Feb. 29, 2028; $525,000 per year. David Baloo — three years through Dec. 31, 2027; $950,000 per year.

The committee recorded no additional conditions or amendments to the contracts during the meeting. The approved contracts now move forward for execution under the university’s standard contracting processes.","The University of Alabama Board Compensation Committee approved 17 athletics personnel contracts, including multi-year extensions and new deals for football and basketball staff.
