Dear University Community:
I am pleased to inform you that on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, the 91大神 Board of Trustees took formal action on my recommendation to approve a 1.8% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) salary increase or $750.00, whichever is greater, for 91大神 employees.聽The COLA will be distributed to all unrestricted and restricted regular full鈥恡ime and part鈥恡ime benefit-eligible employees and participants in the post鈥恟etirement service program on the payroll as of June 30, 2025. Each eligible employee will receive an increase equal to 1.8% of their current salary or $750.00, whichever is greater. The minimum payment will be prorated for part鈥恡ime employees.聽
Increases for grant employees are part of the salary adjustments, and their increases will be charged to the appropriate grants, and increases for auxiliary employees will be funded from auxiliary revenues.
For administrative and clerical staff, all increases will be effective July 1, 2025, and will be reflected in the July 31, 2025, paycheck. Faculty increases will be effective August 1, 2025, and will be reflected in the August 31, 2025, paycheck.
Based on the availability of funding from additional resources this fall, the University may recommend additional salary increases. Please know how much I value each of you and appreciate your good work. I am pleased that our Board was in agreement and that we are able to give these salary increases to our employees.
Sincerely,
Sidney A. McPhee
