FAU rejects recommended 2.5% faculty salary increase - KIMBERLY MILLER, Palm Beach Post

Florida Atlantic University officials rejected a state magistrate's ruling that professors should receive a 2.5 percent across-the-board raise this year, saying it was based on a misunderstanding of the school's financial situation. FAU released its response to the non-binding ruling by magistrate Joseph Schneider late Friday. The rejection likely means the decision about what kind of raises faculty receive will be made by FAU's board of trustees. Faculty have not received across-the-board raises since 2006.
