Faculty continue to express concerns - Elma Gonzalez, The Ithacan

Growing tensions between Ithaca College faculty and administration surrounding salary and college budget developments were at the forefront of Tuesday night’s Faculty Council meeting. Discussion centered on Huron Consulting Group financial assessment developments, salary and electing the faculty candidates for next semester’s Institutional Effectiveness and Budget Committee. At the meeting, Marisa Kelly, provost and vice president for educational affairs, reiterated her stance on the Faculty Council’s request for a 3-percent increment in general merit pay. Kelly said the percentage is significantly higher than what the IEBC was comfortable in putting forward. At the Nov. 13 meeting, she said she did not support advocating for a larger salary pool. http://theithacan.org/28880
