Teachers Ask Wage Hike
From Salary Sub-Corhmittee
SALEM (Special) — Everybody needs better
salaries. And the teachers in the Oregon State
System of Higher Education are no different,
according to those who appeared before the salary
subcommittee of the Joint Ways and Mean Com
mittee Thursday night.
Chancellor Roy Lieuallcn said the subcom
mittee was "dealing with the most crucial part of
the budget” as he urged adoption of the proposed
budget for higher education submitted by Gov
ernor Tom McCall and by the Oregon State Sys
tem of Higher Education.
Representatives of the American Association of
University Professors urged the subcommittee to
consider a slightly different method of projecting
salary needs for the biennium.
The AAUP's proposed salary budget would be
slightly higher than that of the State System.
The Oregon State System of Higher Education
budget sets target average salaries for 1967 68 at
the University and OSU at $12,122 and at $12,801
in 1068119
This is a percentage salary increase of 10.28 the
first year and 560 the second year. The AAUP
proposals were somewhat higher, with an increase
of 12.98 per cent the first year and 5.30 per cent
the second.
Lieuallcn explained average salaries for the
staff of Oregon institutions of higher learning
have climbed 28 per cent since 1961. In that same
period, thr rate of competition among institu
tion has climbed 31 per cent.
James Jensen, president of OSU, explained part
of this increased rate of competition by pointing
out each new staff member joining a state insti
tution has "each year a greater investment in
dollars in his education.
"It goes without saying, if previous salaries
were correct, an increase is just as correct,” he
said.
Out of 19 comparable institutions, the Univer
sity and Oregon State jointly ranked number 13
in terms of salary. Oregon’s universities ranked
number eight in 1957-58.
Those who spoke before the salary subcommit
tee stressed the need to raise salaries according
to the proposed budget in order to keep present
qualified staff members in Oregon.
Another educator said, "It costs more to re
place a good man than to increase his salary
enough to keep him."
An institution must offer higher and better
wages to bring new people in than they would
have to offer to keep people already loyal to the
school, he said.
However, he said, the institution must be able
to offer something better than they are presently
offering in order to persuade good professors to
stay.
