Chicago Tribune: Union sues UW-Platteville over retention fund plan
MADISON, Wis. – A faculty union is suing the University of Wisconsin-Platteville over the way its chancellor wants to award merit pay increases.
The case could help decide how a new $10 million fund is awarded across the University of Wisconsin System. Lawmakers created the fund last year to help recruit and retain faculty members and researchers, whose salaries are lagging behind those at rival schools.
The UW System told campuses to use the money to give raises to key employees or to sweeten the salaries of incoming workers.
