University of Idaho Interim President Don Burnett sent a university-wide email Thursday announcing that the new classification and compensation system will undergo further review before moving forward. The email outlines the plan to implement an additional analysis process. This is in response to concerns expressed by staff and the affect this has had on overall staff morale, according to the email.
“I am requesting the deans and administrative leaders to meet together and to conduct an institution-wide review in order to gain additional assurance that the proposed job classifications are properly calibrated,” Burnett said in the email. “…This supplemental review will delay our overall progress in the classification project, but I believe this is time well spent in order to get to the most accurate set of outcomes.”
