The approved budget includes a 2.25% salary increase pool, which comprises a 1.5% maintenance pool and a 0.75% merit, market, and equity pool.

Staff and faculty who have received a satisfactory/successful performance evaluation within the last fiscal year may be eligible to receive a maintenance increase of 1.5%. Additional funds of 0.75% are available for faculty and staff that may be eligible for a merit, market, or equity increase.
