The Philadelphia Inquirer: Temple offers faculty raise, but wants some tied to merit

Temple University has offered to its faculty raises equivalent to 17.3 percent over four years and has backed off a proposal to tie all of the raise to performance, officials said yesterday.

The administration, however, still wants a significant portion to be based on merit – more than in the current contract – although officials would not be specific.
