In Juneau, please join your colleagues in EL 104. In Ketchikan, please check with your Campus Director's Office for the location. In Sitka, the meeting will be in Room 106.
This is our first collective opportunity to meet Dr. Hairston, and to convey our thoughts and concerns about the next person to lead our state's system of higher education. Everyone is encouraged to attend.
BOR Approval of Salary Grid Change
At its meeting on September 25, 2009 the Board of Regents unanimously approved the proposed modifications to the staff compensation grid that were the subject of my September 21 memo to you. More details are available online.
The newly approved grid will not be implemented until June 2010. More information will be available before that time to explain the renumbering of the steps and to let you know whether and by how much your hourly rate of pay will increase. (No one will experience a reduction of pay; the average amount of increase will be 12 cents per hour.)
