From the Nov 2023 and Nov 2024 salary reports. The faculty were eligible for a 3% merit pool for Jan 1 2024 raises. I’m no longer an economist, but I seem to remember they call this “revealed preference” as in Scholz has revealed he loves his admins and doesn’t give a shit about the faculty:*

* For an interesting application of the theory of revealed preference to altruism see “Giving According to GARP: An Experimental Test of the Consistency of Preferences for Altruism” by Andreoni and Miller (2002), written while Andreoni and Scholz were both profs at UW-Madison and I was a grad student. I helped run the experiment.
Wow. This has got to be devastating for faculty morale. I’d like to offer my services as a motivational speaker to mitigate the damages. Is UO good for $40K an hour like last time?
So if they want to be able to afford similar big raises next year, they need to screw us again?
I went through the trouble of expanding this table for multiple years, and adding a few missing positions (e.g., law dean).
