Inside Higher Ed: Judge orders raises for U of Washington faculty

If you tell faculty members that they can expect a raise, you’d better mean it.

That was the message that a state judge, Mary I. Yu, had for the University of Washington Tuesday, when she ruled that the university had an obligation to provide faculty members who received good reviews a raise of at least 2 percent in 2002-3. The university could owe its faculty members $12 million or more when the 2 percent is factored into the base pay for faculty members who received subsequent raises.
