Salary Increase Welcomed
Salary Increase Welcomed
The recent academic salary increases are the most satisfactory in principle and in detail since those of 1960, according to the Victoria University Council.
This attitude was recorded at the Council's Annual meeting in July when the Council accepted a motion from the Pro-Chancellor, Mr K.B. O'Brien to that effect.
While the resolution affirmed that the university still faces problems as a result of the decision the Council expressed its appreciation of the fair and reasonable hearings given to university representatives.
