Dear Faculty and Staff,

This year we saw enrollment and student engagement soar, along with impressive gains in research productivity and focused initiatives to improve campus wellness. This is because of you and your efforts. So, I am pleased to announce that we will be rewarding your hard work with raises based on a 4% merit pool. Salary changes based on merit awards will be effective Dec. 1 and reflected in January paychecks.

This is the largest merit pool I have seen since I have been at UNT, and I hope it helps to let you know how much your hard work and successes over the past year are appreciated. Your supervisors currently are completing the necessary paperwork, based on the total budget allocations they received and your annual reviews.

I thank you again for helping UNT have its most successful year in recent history, and I hope you get a chance to relax and enjoy the upcoming holiday season.

UNT Proud,
Neal Smatresk
President
