What we need i a shift in attitude among the decision makers, she said. Richards explained that salary equity will be the first priorit when the budget is presented to the Utah Legislature in January of next year. We have an extremely loyal faculty, Richards said. Unfortunately, loyalty and dedication dont make the mortgage payments. The salary issue also concerns the staff of Southern Utah State. Were not even comparable to two year institutions, said Dorian Page, an accountant in the schools controllers office and a past president of the Staff Association. Theres not a whole lot we can do, he said. Were losing people ani there are a lot of people looking. There has been a little success though in upgrading the salaries. We were successful this past summer in getting place; on the same comparable institution list as Weber State College, which means that salary goals for SUSC as established by the Regents were raised substantially, Sherratt said. However, the upgrading applies only to salary goals, not the salaries themselves. For the time being salaries are still low and the quality of education could be the next to drop. Ultimately the future of the salary issue and related funding lies in the hand of the Utah Legislators. Plans are already being made for extensive lobbying. Pm cautiously optimistic that the legislature will be willing to make a greater investment in higher education this year, Sherratt said. Sherratt also expressed hope that students woult launch a campaign of their own designed to win legislative approval for increased funding. As the battle readies in the legislature, faculty, staff and administration may already be near exhaustion. Should the people of the state of Utah decide that it is more important that we dont educate all the students who seek education, then I believe that as a state we will reap the sad consequences of that decision in years to come, Sherratt said. Once a small, two-yecollege, a now rapidly expanding Southern Utah State appears to be leaving the tranquility of southern Utah and entering the cruel world of economic woes and insufficient funds.
