Higher education a wise investment for Montana

An editorial in Sunday’s Bozeman Daily Chronicle http://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/opinions/article_41bb4fb2-3d62-11e2-847e-001a4bcf887a.html effectively called attention to the importance of paying competitive wages and salaries to university faculty and staff. This attention is a positive sign, as the community newspaper, many elected state officials, and the Montana Board of Regents of Higher Education seem to have a common focus on effective compensation methods to support continued excellence in education.

Montana State University has been able to attract amazing faculty and staff at "below-market" salaries for many years. Most of the faculty and staff choose to work at MSU for reasons other than the financial: incredible colleagues, motivated undergraduates, quality graduate students, path-breaking research and creative opportunities, deep engagement with our community, state, and globe, as well as the chance to live in the Last Best Place.
