FLAGSTAFF, AZ - Hundreds of Northern Arizona University employees will be getting paid more.
University officials say the salary boosts are not raises, but rather market adjustments meant to bring employees' salaries closer to their counterparts at other universities.
Employees ranging from secretaries to professors and vice presidents will see increases from $500 to more than $29,000 apiece. The adjustments total $6.8 million and come after three years with no raises at all.
The university says employees making within 10 percent of their counterparts at peer universities were not given raises, but about two-thirds of NAU's 2,564 benefits-eligible employees did qualify for a boost.
University President John Haeger says he hopes the increases will keep NAU from losing talent.
