Recent Expressions of Concern by Some Faculty Want explicit condemnation of HB 2 Relationship of 6-figure salaries for administrators and “revamped” gyms to rising tuition? Low wages for part-time faculty while UNCC builds “shiny building after shiny building and spends millions on football.”

HB 2 March 29 (week after the bill passed) President Spellings’ guidance April 8 (after guidance received from General Administration)

Administrative Salaries and Building Renovations as a Cause of Rising Tuition? 189 EHRA employees earn more than $99,999. 85 of the 189 hold faculty rank as deans, department chairs, etc. Their salaries combined constitute about 7.5% of our total General Fund. Tuition does not fund building construction or renovation. Tuition increases due largely to reductions of state appropriations.

Low Wages for Part-time Faculty as a Result of Building Constructions and Football? Building construction and renovation funded from non-recurring sources; wages require recurring dollars. Football not funded with appropriations or tuition (dedicated student fees and generated income fund Athletics). Strategic salary adjustments have addressed all groups over time.
