board of trustees' approval for a three-percent tuition hike.
Administration will also ask for a go-ahead on another
$250,000 in budget cuts, including staff and faculty position
cuts, should Guilford College reach an enrollment "worse-
case scenario." The cuts come on the heels of $2.5 million

peer institutions are $82,579, $66,621 and $57,379 respectively.
Although faculty have received promotions, they have not
received raises commensurate with the added responsibility.
"The average salaries by rank have changed a little
because some faculty have been promoted to a higher rank,
