Rutgers boosts pay for student workers to $11 an hour amid protests - Kelly Heyboer, NJ.com

Rutgers University students who work minimum wage jobs on campus will start the new year with a big raise -- but some protesters say the pay boost is too stingy. Minimum wage for student workers will go from $8.44 an hour to $11 an hour, starting Jan. 1, Rutgers President Robert Barchi said in a letter to students Monday. The 30 percent raise affects more than 13,000 students who work in dining halls, libraries, offices and other facilities on the New Brunswick-Piscataway, Newark and Camden campuses, the president said. Student in the Federal Work Study program will also get the boost in pay. http://www.nj.com/education/2017/12/rutgers_boosting_minimum_wage_for_students_after_p.html
