FILE:   B-220869               DATE:     April 30, 1986

MATTER OF:     Uniformed Services University of the
               Health Sciences -- Application of Pay Caps
               to Faculty Members
DIGEST:

          Civilian faculty members of the
          Uniformed Services University of the
          Health Sciences question whether their
          pay is subject to statutory pay caps
          imposed on federal salaries for fiscal
          years 1979-1981. Although the salaries
          of these faculty members are set by the
          Secretary of Defense under 10 U.S.C.
          S 2113(f) to be comparable with other
          medical schools in the vicinity of the
          District of Columbia, we hold these
          salaries are subject to the statutory
          pay caps imposed by Congress for fiscal
          years 1979 and 1981. Pay increases for
          these positions were also limited by
          administrative determination for fiscal
          year 1980 to be comparable with other
          Federal executive pay increases.
          A recent court decision involving
          backpay for Senior Executive Service
          employees is not applicable to these
          faculty members.


                            ISSUE

     The issue in this decision is whether statutory limita-
 tions on pay increases apply to the salaries of civilian
 faculty members of the Uniformed Services University of the
 Health Sciences. We hold that the salaries of the civilian
faculty members were properly capped in fiscal years
1979-1981 and that they are not affected by a recent court
decision awarding backpay to members of the Senior Executive
Service.

                         BACKGROUND

     This decision is in response to a request from the
General Counsel of the Department of Defense (DOD) for an
advance decision concerning the application of certain
