The University of Colorado Board of Regents approved April 7 a 2.5 percent base-building salary increase for employees on its four campuses as part of the fiscal year 2017-18 budget, which begins July 1.<\/p>\n

The compensation increase matches the mandatory state increase for classified personnel, a 1.75 percent across-the-board increase with an additional 0.75 percent in merit pay increases.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The board\u2019s approval came in an 8-0 vote, with an abstention by Regent Jack Kroll, who is a staff member at CU Boulder.<\/p>\n

The increases are more than those in the 2016-17 budget, in which employees at CU Boulder, CU Colorado Springs and CU Anschutz Medical Campus received a 2 percent increase and system employees received a 1.77 percent increase. CU Denver employees were not given base-building salary increases in 2016-17 because of the university\u2019s budget shortfall, however they were given an up to 2 percent <\/a>non-base-building increase divvied up at the discretion of the department leadership.<\/p>\n

CU Denver is now estimating it might be $3.4 million above budgeted revenue in FY 2016-17 because of higher-than-expected enrollment growth and an increase in indirect cost reimbursement. Regent Jack Kroll, D-Denver, asked whether it would be possible to use some of that money to make up for the past fiscal year\u2019s salary shortfall.<\/p>\n

Chancellor Dorothy Horrell said it would not. CU Denver does not intend to expend the funds in FY 2016-17 and will wait until actuals are known, she said. \u201cThe budget was very conservative and not sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Todd Saliman, vice president and <\/a>chief financial officer, said the increases as approved would add more than $23.3 million to the university\u2019s 2017-18 budget. The final budget will be voted on at the board\u2019s June meeting at UCCS.<\/p>\n
