Tight state budgets nationwide have affected the ability for college and university professors to receive annual increases. However, that tide may be changing, as University of Missouri officials announced that this week they will debate increasing the school's
payroll in 2011, according to the Missourian.
The paper details that a percentage of forthcoming tuition increases may go toward a "merit-based" 2 percent salary increase for university faculty and staff.
Those considered for a pay increase will be judged on annual evaluations of faculty compiled by the four branches of the UM system. Additionally, professors will be evaluated on teaching methods, research and public service, the Missourian details.
Merit would be determined based on the annual evaluations of professors performed by the four campuses in the system. Faculty members are evaluated based on teaching, research and service.
Meanwhile, the University of Albany bucked its financial constraints by issuing $1.2 million in raises to be shared by the 970 faculty members on staff. The payroll increase comes after faculty members received 4 percent base pay increases in July 2010, the Albany Times-Union reports.
