Just wondering in light of our financial situation if the University might be considering an early retirement incentive?
Will the university be leveraging Policy 39 & 59, in terms of offering further incentives, in order to reduce salary expenses?
If you expect lower student enrollment numbers, then should staff not get paid less as they have a lower professor-to-student ratio, and a smaller workload? Also, then should students not get a lower cost of tuition?
If the University of Waterloo finds itself facing large scale staff layoffs as a result of the current and evolving situation, would it consider asking staff/faculty if they would take a wage cut to maintain jobs?
With the financial situation being so unknown, why was the option of not getting our yearly salary increase brought up as an option?
Would UW consider not giving staff the 2% salary increase? This way it hits everyone evenly and also helps reduce the overall operating budget?
I had a 1 year + 1-year contract. I'm sure some are in the same situation, but wasn't approved for my 2nd year. Not a new employee yet about to be let go. Priority was said to save jobs, but how is this showing that?
What is UW doing to maintain these key department advising staff, especially those on contract, who are imperative to ensuring a quality program is offered to students by UW and ensure UW is continued to be viewed in such high-regard?
