"The State Legislature appropriated $27 million annually for the increases, which will be doled out with the goal of focusing on market competitiveness of those faculty in high demand fields of study."
"More than two-thirds-68 percent-of faculty within the UW system earned less than the median salary of their peers in recent years."
"UW Madison will receive a third of the funding, with $9.6 million spread across 548 faculty members, while UW Milwaukee will receive 12.6 percent-or $3.4 million."
The University of Wisconsin system will allocate over $27 million for salary increases for more than 2,300 faculty members in high-demand fields. This initiative aims to enhance market competitiveness in areas such as biomedical sciences, education, graphic design, and veterinary medicine. UW Madison will receive the largest share of funding, totaling $9.6 million for 548 faculty members. The distribution is based on undergraduate credit hours, with no faculty member receiving more than a 20 percent base-pay increase. A significant portion of faculty has earned below the median salary compared to peers.
