The changes affected 26 non-union staff members, primarily in administrative units. Changes included restructuring, new responsibilities, title/salary adjustments, and position eliminations.
Five vacant positions have been eliminated, and another two will be eliminated following retirements.
Reorganizations were necessary to address redundancies, adapt to changing operational needs, and enhance efficiencies. These changes were made with a focus on maintaining the quality of services and prioritizing students.
Leaders will work closely with team members to set clear expectations and address any workload concerns. It is expected that assigned duties will remain within a reasonable range of variance and would not necessitate a job evaluation (i.e. not meet the definition of significant change).
Given the University’s current financial challenges, no salary increases will be offered at this time; a full review of the Management and Professional (M&P) compensation framework is underway.
All non-union staff have been officially notified that their salaries have been frozen.
No. Non-union staff salaries are frozen for 2025-26.
The M&P salary progression steps will continue for now.
While this phase of changes did not affect all non-union employees, further reviews and adjustments may occur as part of the University’s broader efforts to achieve financial sustainability.
With salaries and benefits comprising 78% of our operating budget and a projected $30 million shortfall for fiscal 2025-26, achieving financial sustainability inevitably affects employees.
