CCSN faculty raises OK’d

Monday, Sept. 26, 2005 | 10:02 a.m.

University regents unanimously approved a proposal to increase the salary of every faculty member at the Community College of Southern Nevada by $800 a year over the next two years. The money comes from a legislatively mandated pool to raise CCSN salaries established during the 2005 Legislature after state lawmakers found that CCSN professors made about $3,000 less on average than other community college professors in the state.

A small part of the $1.6 million pool over the biennium will also go to raise nursing professor salaries at the college to help meet a severe staff shortage there, CCSN President Richard Carpenter said. The funding will allow the college to hire nursing faculty slightly above the current salary schedule and give greater cost of living increases.

He also hopes to use about $50,000 of the money toward a reward program for senior professors who give additional service to the college. That program is still in development and the money would not be allocated for it until 2006.
