How is Faculty Salary Determined?
Per the MSCF contract, each new faculty member's education and experience will determine how they are credentialed and where they are placed on the salary schedule.

MSCF contract, Chapter 13 - Wages. Understand that each new faculty, no matter their education or experience, needs to abide by the Initial Salary Placement rules that prevent them from exceeding a certain pay step in each column on the salary schedule.
