Salary Equity cont.

  • Pay long-term loyal faculty adequately.
  • Annual review of salaries with cost of living increases as a minimum
  • I do not think this is a problem, IF CoL increases, merit pay raises, and some negotiation opportunities remain competently and consistently available to all faculty.
  • Raise long term employees salary or pay what long term employees are making

  • Balance budgets to make sure that all faculty are being paid competitively. Salaries are a joke across the board. If the university
