Assembly meets to discuss goals for the upcoming academic year
Staff Assembly members discussed wages,
compensation, parking and daycare at their annual goal-setting session
Tuesday at the Dee J. Kelly Alumni and Visitors Center.
Members dividedinto committees and collectively came up with goals
for the upcoming academic year.
Increasing compensation and raising the living wage were the main
themes expressed by members. Other areas of concern include the implementation
of daycare services on campus and parking problems.
Executive committee members collected suggestions from the committee
chairmen and chairwomen and will review them at the executive committee
meeting Sept. 17. Conclusions will be discussed at the October Staff
Assembly meeting.
Wages are always a primary concern, said Karen Baker,
Staff Assembly chairwoman. TCU has made great strides in addressing
salary issues.Last year, the base wage was increased for the
second time in three years. During that time it has increased from
$5.73 an hour to $8, a 39.6 percent increase.
People who work shouldnt live in poverty, said Tara
Pope, Staff Assembly secretary. I would like to see the Staff
Assembly continue the good work theyve started toward this goal.
