Iowa Regents Face Dim Outlook on University Salary Hikes
Des Moines Richey, executive director of the state Board of Regents, warned the Legislature is unlikely to fund significant pay raises for non unionized faculty and staff across Iowa's three universities. The board seeks 8 percent raises next year, plus a vitality fund to bolster merit and general increases, but faces line drawing by lawmakers and Gov. Ray. Some Iowa faculty threaten collective bargaining if demands are unmet.
