A University of Wisconsin chancellor says three groups of educators in the state were not treated equally when budget cuts were doled out.
UW-Stout Chancellor Charles Sorensen says itâ??s time someone spoke out against the pay cuts and furloughs imposed on the UW system when higher education plays a big role in the stateâ??s future economic growth. He says someone has to say whatâ??s really good for the UW system is competitive salaries for faculty.
The Chancellor points to technical school teachers and K-12 teachers who are not facing the same salary cuts. He says his concern is that educators are being treated differently, that tech school faculty members are getting raises while UW faculty have taken pay cuts. (Third item.)
