As far as Welty or any administrators not giving themselves raises … I don’t necessarily think it works this way. Even if it did, I’d say 5 years is a bit much.

I’m more concerned about the pace at which educational prices, in general, are going up. CSUF was founded in 1911 … what was the equivalent economic cost back then, to now? When you look at $1000 / semester (tuition, not including books & other expenses) back in 1999-2000 … less than 10 years later, we’re up to nearly $1800 / semester (at least that’s my tab for 18 units). That’s a daunting pace of inflation … and prices or school don’t typically go back down like the price of gas and commodities are right now. Hopefully they hover for a few years before another arbitrary hike to fix shot-term problems, which were caused by people looking for short-term gains rather than long-term stability (scummy economy kings).

The fee increase from last year that welty put on us generated about the same amount that fresno state faces. might as well, i mean it will be as if we just had one lum sum increase to make this campus work.

IWelty should propose that all Administrators get no raises for the next five years.
