TCPalm.com: Some question employee salary increases at FAU
In a year when Florida Atlantic University faced $19 million in budget cuts and offered only 1 percent raises to faculty, some question why more than 100 employees received salary increases of 10 percent or more.
The United Faculty of Florida, which is at impasse in its salary negotiations with FAU, is angry about what it sees as inconsistencies. The university said it gave money to employees who took on extra responsibilities after jobs were cut last year, including several who work closely with FAU President Frank Brogan. The university cut 130 positions last year, mostly through attrition.
