    2. President Floyd and interim Provost Bernardo attended from WSU West to articulate the salary philosophy at WSU to discuss the upcoming raises that faculty and administrative professionals will be receiving in January, 2014. A brief review of the last salary increase and one time 2% payment was provided. An overview of the 4% salary increase was provided. Because WSU operates on the semester system rather than on the quarter system like the other institutions in the state, this raise will be effective starting in January. Other considerations were the merit component of the faculty raises and the technical issues with ZZUSIS. It was important to ensure that enrollment took place smoothly at the beginning of the academic year. Additionally due to technical difficulties with Zzusis to ensure all enrollment process was taken into account and as our institution is unlike others, we have the merit component for our staff. Therefore, to be fiscally prudent and ensure all considerations were taken into account, the raises will occur in January. A question and answer sessions followed. President Floyd advised he will be attending the October 10th meeting in person.
