Effective June 20, 2011
Although final budget numbers will not be available until the 2011 Minnesota State Legislature draws its session to a close, the approaching end of the academic and fiscal years makes it imperative that we communicate to each of you the compensation strategy for fiscal year 2011-12 that will be recommended to the Board of Regents. Final approval of the compensation plan must be approved by the Board of Regents. The budget is expected to be acted upon by the Board of Regents at a meeting in June, after public forums have been held on the topic by the Board.
