While students sold baked goods for “poor chancellors” outside Van Hise Hall Friday, the UW System Board of Regents formally recommended a 5 percent salary raise for UW personnel. Provided the state chooses to accept the salary increases for staff and denies funds to pay for them, the recommendation stands to increase UW student tuition 5.5 percent.
While the salary raise would not go into effect this year, it represents a 2 percent increase over the salary raise the Board of Regents requested this summer.
