University Salaries
■ Sir, —The Implication of the opening statement in today’s Press Association report on university salary increases, is that the £lOO increase for assistant lecturers is the smallest increase -being granted. May I bring to your notice that lecturers are to receive only £5O increase. The- minimum salary for lecturers has been increased from £1250 to £l3OO in the new scale. This is in spite of the following facts: (1) Within New Zealand, public servants in the comparable salary range have had increases bf over £lOO in the last four years while university staff have received nothing.(2) Outside New Zealand, the minimum salary for lecturers in the United Kingdom was raised by £l5O, from £1250 to £l4OO earlier this year. These facts tend to make a mockery of Mr Holyoake’s reported statement, that the Government was “very much concerned to See that the lecturer grade . . .. should be fully competitive.”—Yours, etc., LECTURER. August 25, 1964.
