Resolution on Salaries for University Employees

Proposed November 16, 2001; Passed January 18, 2002

The University of Southern Mississippi Faculty Senate applauds efforts of the IHL Board to maintain competitive salaries for state university presidents. We remind the board that the same problems with competitiveness in salaries exist at the faculty and staff levels at USM and statewide.

We ask the IHL Board to take steps to recognize and remedy declining real salaries in Mississippi higher education statewide. This has resulted in the growing loss of valuable faculty and staff. All university employees should get substantial raises.
