SIU faculty may get pay raise in two parts
Illinois higher education officials propose an 8 percent base salary rise for public universities effective July 1 plus a 2 percent catch-up increase on January 1 1982 to total a 10 percent rise for SIU Carbondale and other campuses. The plan depends on state finances with potential further reductions possible and includes maintaining gross retirement benefits. Chancellor Shaw noted substantial cuts could impact personnel services as the IBHE budget tightens. Also the budget edges up state scholar awards from 1850 to 1950 dollars.
