RALEIGH – Raises for faculty and staff are at the top of the NC Community Colleges’ legislative agenda this year.
“We’re the third-largest system in the country, yet our faculty and staff – those individuals that day in and day out provide educational instruction to our students – rank 41st in the nation (in pay),” NC Community College System President Thomas Stith III says in the accompanying video.
In fact, community-college instructors make less on average than K-12 public school teachers.1
“So we requested a minimum of a 5% increase as the first step to be competitive in the national market that we operate in,” Stith says.
