- Faculty Recommendations for
Salary Increases
- T. Vavra reported

year’s increases and the current dispersement of faculty salaries.

allow us to send the Assembly recommendation after the February 2nd
meeting, since the data was not yet available.

moved to base and most to the proper increment on the years of service
scale.
- Faculty members were

to work with a group of faculty to develop a preliminary proposal prior

assist. Any other faculty members
interested, please contact Tony.
