Budget offers MU faculty a gloomy outlook
University of Missouri faculty members are going to need some tough talks about how the system should boost salaries to a level comparable with peer universities.
That was the take-away message of a more than hourlong meeting yesterday between Betsy Rodriguez, vice president of human resources, and about 40 MU faculty members on campus. The presentation was a scaled-down version of the five-hour presentation Rodriguez gave the UM Board of Curators in August.
“I don’t want you to leave depressed, I want you to leave with a lot of questions” and things to discuss, Rodriguez said at the end of the program.
