Resolution 80-81-19

Board of Trustees; Salary Increases; University Budget

The Faculty Senate is sympathetic with the Administration=s efforts to present a balanced budget to the Board of Trustees, and believes that strong efforts have been made to provide a high salary pool. Moreover, the Senate wishes to cooperate with our new President as much as possible. Nevertheless, we wish to point out that, once again, the current salary allocation of 9.5% amounts, in effect, to a real salary reduction. The Senate protests making this reduction, even if only in part, on a Amerit@ basis. Further, we urge that much stronger efforts be made to provide genuine merit increases in the future.
