UCA has set aside about $1.7 million in a holding account that would fund a one-time, across-the-board bonus, Courtway said.


UCA appears to be in the positive...

I read that the other day and planned on posting it, but I forgot.

Way to go President Courtway and all the amazing faculty and staff at UCA!

This would be a one-time non-recurring bonus, if the fall overall enrollment came in at an acceptable increase over last year. A raise would be the preference but we will appreciate an one-time bonus. Our last raise was in 2010.

With all due respect bearbrothers- a lot of people in the private sector haven't received a pay raise in a long time either... and with a lot of companies laying off workers (hawker, Weatherford, LM Windpower- this month alone) sometimes it's just nice that your name isn't on the list. Tell me Bearsbrother has UCA gone through any Work Force reductions in the past 2-3 years? Don't get me wrong I love a good payraise when deserved, but when the rest of the economy isn't doing so well?

Are UCA employees paid as well as the private sector?
I doubt it.

. If a UCA employee is unhappy about not getting paid like a private sector employee...guess what they can do? Yeah...get a private sector job. I learned that at UCA.

Bonuses, raises, cola - some kind of money is better than no money.

What we should be pissed about is the person/persons who crawfished on the weight room construction. Saddling the university with a $750,000 debt after pledging to offer to finance the building but then backing out - pretty low, imo.
