The Seattle Times: UW settlement to give part-timers catch-up raise
The University of Washington has settled a class-action lawsuit with part-time faculty, agreeing to pay them $500,000 in merit raises for the past six years.
As part of the settlement, the UW also will give returning part-time instructors a 6 percent pay increase next year, an amount which the university estimated at about $290,000.
The settlement affects nearly 1,000 part-time UW lecturers who have taught at least one quarter for two consecutive years between 2000 and 2007.
