UNIVERSITY SALARIES
Criticism Of New Scales (N Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, June 25. The new university teachers’ salary scales will not enable New Zealand universities to compete for staff on the international market, according to the national president of the Association of University Teachers (Professor N. Tarling). Soon after the new salary scales were announced today, Professor Tarling said that the new levels at no point reached the levels of Australian salaries.
The association welcomed the expressed intention of the University Salaries Committee to review salary scales every six months. Recruitment
“Recruitment of new junior lecturers and lecturers may be somewhat easier from now on,” Professor Tarling said. “But the top of the lecturers’ scales is unduly low, and may encourage staff to leave more rapidly than they can be recruited.”
Professor Tarling said the association welcomed the removal of the percentage restriction on the number of senior lecturers in each university, and would seek the removal of the percentage restriction on associate profesI sors.
