Classified employees’ pay, such as for clerical and service/maintenance workers, where only a few are earning below the living wage, is dictated by the State of Connecticut. UConn has no authority over raising the wages of this population. However, since the snapshot used for IPEDS on 11/1/19, only 3 are earning below living wage as of 3/2/20.
