NMSU Looks to Boost Faculty Salaries

KOB TV - New Mexico State University is taking steps to keep faculty members from leaving over lagging salary levels.

Some also say morale remains low across the Las Cruces campus. In all, 224 faculty members have departed the NMSU system since 2008. That's a turnover rate of about 5 percent. Of those departures, exit interviews done by the university show that 23 percent left because of salary. NMSU spokeswoman Minerva Baumann says 88 percent of faculty members are below market compensation levels. Read full story here: News New Mexico
