Philadelphia Inquirer: Merit pay dispute brewing among Temple faculty

A dispute is brewing within Temple University’s faculty as its union pushes for largely across-the-board raises while nonunion members advocate merit pay.

The Temple Association of University Professionals has proposed 5 percent across-the-board raises in each year of a four-year contract and 1 percent for merit raises. The faculty’s current contract expires Oct. 15.
