To Improve Salaries for Teachers
and Professors at Our Synodical Schools

RESOLUTION 6-28

Overture 6-47 (CW, pp. 260, 261)

Wuereas, Current salaries offered teaching person-
nel at our synodical schools have not kept pace with
the increased cost of living; and_

Whereas, Staffing at our synodical schools in future
years is a continuing problem with anticipated growth
in numbers and establishment of new schools; and

Wuereas, The current salary scale for professors
and teachers may often result in less-competent and/or
less~experienced personnel being called; and

Wuereas, The upgrading of the salaries of our teach-
ers and professors is dependent on the support of the
Synod by its constituent congregations; therefore be it

Resolved, That the Synod instruct the Board for
Higher Education to continue its study of the matter
of salaries and fringe benefits currently being offered
our professors and teachers; and be it further

Resolved, That the Synod instruct the Board for
Higher Education to prepare and recommend, with all
deliberate speed, a schedule of salaries and fringe
benefits which will be commensurate with the dignity
and responsibility of the office, will more adequately
meet the needs of the increased cost of living of our
instructors and professors at our synodical schools, and
more nearly approaches the remuneration of teachers
and professors of other church-related schools of higher
education; and be it finally

Resolved, That the Synod motivate the congregations
and school associations to respond to their Christian
stewardship privileges and responsibilities in regard to
the support of their servants in the church.
