Dear Colleagues:

Currently, salary raises for individuals paid from grants follow university
guidelines in terms of the available pool.  Therefore, even if a higher
salary was budgeted, the raise given does not exceed the pool unless the
job description were to change.   Can you respond as to whether your
institution follows an institution wide policy in this regard.  The
argument from the researchers is they need to maintain a competitive work
force and have to be able to offer increases to retain people who have
experience.  Since there is little job security, it should be compensated
somehow.  I look forward to your response.

Thanks,

Judy Wilks
Tulane University
