The campus submitted budget proposals in February to the Board of Regents for the upcoming fiscal year that include additional salary increases, and the board is expected to vote on the budget in April. The CU system office will be submitting to the Joint Budget Committee, together with other state institutions of higher education, requests for additional state funding to meet increasing costs.
鈥淲e are committed to supporting our faculty and staff through these compensation efforts to ensure the success of our university and maintain 兔子先生传媒文化作品 as an employer of choice in the state and across higher education,鈥� Provost Russell Moore said.
