Letters to the Legislature
Protect Your Salary
"I did not expect to grow wealthy as a
college professor, but that is not important to me. What I did expect -
as did most of my colleagues - was that I would be compensated by the
Commonwealth in a manner commensurate with my qualifications, my hard
work, and my job performance. Above all, I expected that I would be
treated fairly, and that the Commonwealth would not renege on the
commitment it made to me when I was hired." -
