1. General Fund units will receive funds equal to 2.5 percent of their salary bases for continuing faculty and P&S staff, to be used for salary increases. President Gregory Geoffroy encouraged unit leaders, as they are able, to reallocate funds to reach up to a 3 percent average salary increase.
2. In addition, $1 million in salary and benefits funds will be used to improve faculty salaries:
in the most outstanding and highest-priority academic fields.
for the most outstanding faculty whose salaries aren't competitive in the marketplace for individuals of their distinction.
3. Non-General Fund units are expected to match this policy.
4. According to the AFSCME contract, Merit employees will receive a 2 percent salary increase on July 1. On an employee's anniversary date during FY07, each receives a 4.5 percent increase, up to the maximum of his or her pay grade.
