A brief description of the minimum total compensation provided to the institution’s lowest paid employee or pay grade, including any in-kind benefits included as part of the total compensation figure :
Data above include student workers at UW, since data without student workers was not available. Accordingly, the lowest paid workers on campus are student workers who make approximately $9.00/hr, which is well below Laramie's defined living wage of $16.13. Accordingly, we are not pursuing this portion of the credit.
