464 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [February 4 emphasized that, absent an increase in revenue to provide sufficient funds, the University will suffer a significant loss in momentum, indeed, a further and destructive reduction in purchasing power. If no change is made in the salary structure, a 36-month period will have elapsed without any salary increase for the faculty and staff.
