A brief description of how the institution ensures that its lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) receive sustainable compensation:
o Washington and Lee pays a minimum of $9.46 to all benefit eligible support staff. This is well above Virginia’s minimum wage, ensuring that W&L is a desirable employer for lower-skilled workers.
