Many professors angered over money distribution after attending budget forum - IJ Chan, The Breeze

Faculty and staff met with administration last week to comb through JMU’s budget and re-evaluate its priorities to address the ongoing salary freeze. Faculty and staff members haven’t received a raise since 2007 while new members have been hired at equal or higher salaries than veteran ones. Provost Jerry Benson and James Myers, assistant vice president of academic resources, held a meeting focused on this issue on Thursday. Myers reviewed the budget using a PowerPoint, explaining its different branches. For the 2012-2013 year, the education and general budget receives the most funding. The auxiliary budget, which includes Dining Services, athletics and residential services, is another top priority in funding. http://www.breezejmu.org/news/article_d7e9ec80-2c7a-11e2-a727-001a4bcf6878.html
