This represents FY2019 BU Metrics.
Due to the difficulty of obtaining FY2020 information for this credit during the pandemic. BU has elected to use the Living Wage posted by the MIT Living Wage Calculator for FY2019. While recognizing that this value is much lower than the recent wage amount that has been listed, we have confirmed with AASHE staff that using the FY2019 value fits within the reporting timeframe. In future reporting, we expect to return to using the close to current living wage as BU has done in previous reports.
