From the UConn Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness:
Item 1: Percentage of all employees (regular full-time and part-time, temporary) who receive a living wage (equal or greater than $17.46 per hour for Tolland County, CT), excluding benefits. Note: the living wage for nearby Windham County, where an equally large percentage of UConn employees live, is slightly lower ($16.56 per hour) but would not significantly affect our response.
· Of all the regular payroll full-time and part-time employees (excluding graduate assistants) at the main campus in Storrs, in Fall 2017, a total of 4,227 people, less than 1% earn less than $17.46 per hour (excluding benefits).

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UConn is a public institution and is subject to various state and federal laws that ensure sustainable compensation. We are in a high income, high cost of living state, so this is somewhat subjective.
Due to the sheer number of contractors at an institution as large as UConn, contractors were tracked through HR special payroll.
