As a result, salary increases that would have started Oct. 1 for non-exclusively represented faculty and staff will now be effective Nov. 1 and will appear in Dec. 1 paychecks. One-time reductions in other areas of the operating budget will also be taken. Progress is being made on restoring faculty salaries to within 1.6 percent of the average of salaries at eight comparison institutions. The regents plan to close the salary gap by 1998-99. The budget will help staff members recoup from the years of no salary increases.
