U niversity Police officers voted Wednesday to ratify a new contract that calls for 9 percent salary increases over three years and educational incentives for members of the International Brotherhood of Police, Locals 432A and 432B. Police officers have been working without a contract since December 1997. The last contract ended in December 1997. Marshall said a number of issues important to the police had been resolved, including an education incentive. The contract will be forwarded to the President's Office for review, after which it must be approved by the governor before it is implemented.
Funding is always an issue.
