Education Wednesday, August 8, 2012 Kent State trustees approve new faculty contract Three-year contract increases pay, but also hikes health insurance premiums by WKSU's KABIR BHATIA |
 Reporter Kabir Bhatia | | |
In The Region: Kent State’s full-time faculty has a new contract Wednesday after almost a year of negotiations.
The three-year deal was approved by the Board of Trustees, who held a special meeting today at Kent’s new College of Podiatric Medicine.
The contract gives faculty a 2 percent salary increase retroactive to last fall, followed by 2 percent hikes each of the next three years. But it also requires them to pick up a greater share of their health insurance premiums. Kent State spokesman Eric Mansfield says the raises won’t impact tuition. |
“These are things that we have been budgeting for. So the tuition increase that was most recently approved back in March, has more to do with funding that was cut to Kent State University by the state of Ohio, than it does on an increase for payroll for tenure faculty or any other employees of the university.”
The Board of trustees unanimously approved the contract, which was ratified by ninety-three percent of faculty last month. Kent State President Lester Lefton said such lengthy negotiations are common place. |
