Correcting inaccuracies
Professor Nels W. Forde's letter ' acuy mefabers had to be fired to
f Daily Nebraskan. Jan. 3H attemctina 1 over ine ?- Percent Py increase, in
to correct the "errors of fact" in Eric
Peterson's column of faculty collective
bargaining itself has numerous factual
errors. Two are so dramatically in
accurate as to demand refutation.
Professor Forde says that "last fall
the regents authorized elimination cf
19.25 UNO faculty positions to meet
the anticipated median of faculty
saiiry increases within the allocated
budget", and that "UNL received 2.5
percent, not "zero" for the year '82-83."
More accurately, the 6.6 percent pay
raba ordered by the Commission of
Industrial Relations of UNO faculty for
'82-83 has already been paid and was
covered within the mor ry available in
the university budget without having
to eliminate" permanent faculty lines.
January of 1934, however, the regents
approved a contingency plan that
could resuitin the elimination of 1 9.25
UNO faculty lines ("the CIR orders
another pay increase of as much as 3.3
percent for the UNO faculty for the
current '83-84 year. The working of the
resolution adoped at the January meet-.
' ing makes clear that the plan would go
into effect only if the current negotia
tions break down and the CIR orders
another UNO pay increase.
. In "82-83 the UNL faculty technically
received a 5 percent pay raise, not a 2.5
percent pay raise. The "catch" was that
only half of the 5 percent was delivered
in '82-83, though the S3-84 salary
reflects the 5 percent which was the
approved base increase for '82-83. The
2.5 percent which was withheld in '82
83 has never been distributed back to
us. Professor Forde savs that our salar
ies for"83-84 "are reportedly "zerothough
most nave received a minimal in
crease." Our salary increases for '83-84
are indeed "zero," though perhaps
rorae misunderstands that the "min
imal increase" is nothing more than
me Deiatea addition or the 82-83 in
crease to the salary base." If -"most'
have received something more than
last year's due, the rest of us would like
to near aoout it. . . .
