STRONG STUDENT ENROLLMENT ENABLES KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY TO PROVIDE MID-YEAR PAY INCREASE TO FACULTY AND UNCLASSIFIED STAFF

MANHATTAN -- Continued strong student enrollment and an improved financial situation at Kansas State University will permit a permanent mid-year 2.5 percent pay increase for faculty and unclassified staff.

&1xbet online casino ;We are raising salaries for our high quality faculty members and our service-oriented unclassified professionals,&1xbet online casino ; said President Kirk Schulz. &1xbet online casino ;We realize many people have been without salary increases for a considerable time. This represents a start toward getting our salaries up to where they should be to meet our K-State 2025 goals.&1xbet online casino ;

&1xbet online casino ;One of the outcomes we intend to reach in the K-State 2025 plan is to achieve faculty and staff compensations competitive with our peer universities,&1xbet online casino ; said April Mason, provost and senior vice president.

&1xbet online casino ;This salary increase for faculty and unclassified staff is the first overall raise since July 2008,&1xbet online casino ; said Bruce Shubert, vice president for administration and finance. &1xbet online casino ;Their salaries are set by the university. Classified positions and salaries are not controlled by the university, consequently we can only adjust the salary of unclassified positions, though we will continue to explore ways to help and support our classified staff. We will work with campus leaders over the next few weeks to finalize details.&1xbet online casino ;
