Salaries for University of Wisconsin System faculty and academic staff have fallen so far behind their peers that they must be increased quickly to remain competitive, a report warned Monday. Average salaries for almost every category of academic employee are now behind what comparable schools pay their employees, a 19-member commission created by UW System President Kevin Reilly concluded. “If not remedied in a timely fashion, the Commission believes that these deficiencies could have a damaging effect on the UW System, the UW Systemâ??s ability to achieve its goals for the Growth Agenda of Wisconsin, and on the quality of life in Wisconsin,” the report warned.
