Dear colleagues,
Earlier today, Provost Bean announced a new multi-year program that will provide cost of living adjustments along with the possibility of merit/equity increases. I am writing to provide you with implementation details for this plan.
Multi-Year Salary Adjustment Program (FY13 and FY14)
FY13 Program
March 4, 2013
Multi-year salary adjustment program
With the cost of living increasing each year, it is critical that the University of Oregon be able to provide periodic adjustments to salaries in order to recruit and retain the highest-quality faculty and staff. This is not something the UO has been able to do on a consistent basis for a number of years. With that fact in mind, I am pleased to announce a new multi-year program that will provide cost of living adjustments along with the possibility of merit/equity increases.
