We met with Provost Britz and discussed the budget model, the need to realign the budget around priorities, and the need to get salary equity as one of the priorities. The UC emphasized the need to include the necessary salary increases in all budget considerations. We are continually concerned about understanding the very convoluted budget model and how to make it more data-driven.
We also decided that we would discuss these salary issues with Senator Larson in our meeting with him next week.
