Eastern’s Board of Trustees Monday approved a fiscal year 1998 budget request which would allow for a 9.4 percent increase in the operating budget. The budget would provide more than $5.7 million for academic program enhancements, equipment purchases, deferred maintenance and faculty and staff salary increases. The total operating budget, with the raise, would be more than $66 million. “I feel the budget passed is a realistic budget for Eastern – it addresses needs that we have in IBE MASAYUKI/Staff photographer operating budgets and in capital projects,” said Jill Nilsen, special assistant to the president. “I’m really pleased the board adopted the Dinah blow your horn budget as presented,” Nilsen said. “That budget Tom Birkner, a music teacher from Belleville West High School at Belleville, orders students to start playing on Tuesday afternoon will be sent to the Board of Higher Education during a practice session for the concert on Saturday of Eastern’s jazz camp at the Fine Arts Center.

Northeastern Illinois University averaged $39,400; Western Illinois University averaged $42,100; Illinois State University averaged nearly $10,000 more than Eastern at $46,000; Northern Illinois University averaged $44,000; and Illinois State University faculty averaged $46,000. Eastern’s administration must begin awarding faculty raises higher than the cost of inflation if the school wants to keep its quality faculty. Recent graduation rates at Eastern are second only to the University of Illinois at Champaign- Urbana – with a faculty salary average of $57,000. Eastern also ranks second in the state in fresh- man retention rate – U of I is ahead of Illinois. The main reason Eastern continues to churn out quality graduates at a high retention rate is the fac- ulty. Therefore, the faculty should be rewarded and given an increase of at least 5 percent, which would raise the average to a mere $38,220 – still lowest among similar Illinois schools. At a 7 percent increase, faculty would average $38,948 – an amount that would finally put Eastern near its peers.
