MUSKEGON, MI -- Faculty and staff at Muskegon Community College will receive 2 percent pay increases, bringing top administrators' pay to more than $94,500.
The MCC trustees approved the salary increases at the same meeting where they increased tuition for next year. Trustee Ann Oakes voted against the increases for administrative, professional and support staff, saying she believes salaries should be frozen while the college works to correct its financial picture.
"When things really start improving, that's when the salaries should go up," Oakes said.
The board raised 2014-15 tuition for Muskegon County students by 7.26 percent and by around 11 percent for students from outside the area. Tuition was raised by 5 percent for 2013-14.
The two vice presidents at the college will see their pay increase from $92,728 to $94,583. Pay for the director of finance will increase from $84,486 to $86,176, which is well over the pay range for that employee classification. As a result, the board increased the pay range for that classification to between $54,000 and $87,000.
President Dale Nesbary didn't receive a salary increase, though the board will discuss increasing it from $155,000 to $169,000 when it meets for a retreat later this month.
