2007-2008 Higher Education
Faculty Legislative Issues

1. Increase legislative funding to the national average in order to improve student access and retention,

compensate for inflation that annually affects each institution,
fund appropriate merit increases for full-time faculty,
provide for new full-time and tenured faculty positions,
fund raises for adjunct faculty salaries

2. Increase the State's share of retirement contribution from 6% to 7.5% for higher Education employees.

3. Allow Higher Education Employees the right to serve in the legislature.

4. Amend State Code to eliminate the cap on tuition waivers as a recruitment and retention strategy for faculty and staff:

Amend 18B-10-6A so that the removal of tuition waiver limitation that WVU and Marshall currently enjoy can be extended to any institution whose BOG chooses to broaden the scope of waivers;
Repeal 18B-10-5 and 18B-10-6, which mandate the 5% waiver restriction for undergraduate and graduate institutions respectively.
