FY25 Professional Faculty and Non-represented Academic Faculty Merit Program

April 29, 2024

Dear Professional Faculty and Non-represented Academic Faculty Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that we will offer an initial FY25 merit-based salary increase program for professional faculty and academic faculty who are not represented by UAOSU. The merit program prioritizes performance-based pay increases.

Employees who fully met expectations in FY24 can anticipate an increase of at least 2%. Increases above 2%, up to a maximum of 6%, will recognize employees who exceeded expectations and helped OSU achieve transformative results. This is important as we focus OSU’s resources on achieving the goals of Prosperity Widely Shared.

Employees who did not meet expectations will not receive an increase, and those hired after May 1, 2024 are not eligible. Employees will begin receiving the increase with their July 31, 2024 paycheck if they are a 12-month appointee, or with their September 30, 2024 paycheck if they are a 9-month appointee.

The university is actively engaged in bargaining with United Academics of Oregon State University (UAOSU). Employees holding positions represented by United Academics of OSU will be eligible for increases as negotiated through the collective bargaining process. For an explanation of “non-represented academic faculty,” see the Frequently Asked Questions about this program. University Athletics employees have a separate program and are not included in this program.

Vice Provost for Human Resources and Chief Human Resources Officer Heather Horn will provide more detailed information about the merit program in the near future.

Thank you for your commitment to OSU’s success.

Sincerely,

Edward Feser

Provost and Executive Vice President
