font-family:Arial'>I have a question for the Regional Universities: Does your
institution allow personnel paid from grants and contracts to receive annual
salary increases even if the institution does not give pay raises to the
employees of the institution? Our current policy right now will not allow
for our grant personnel to receive any salary increases, even when written into
the grant proposals and awarded, if the institution is not giving any salary
increases. We are looking into this policy and would like to find out
what others are doing. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
