Rutgers to raise minimum wage to $11 an hour for student workers

[Tango Two]

“$11 is not a living wage, and don’t let anyone fool you into thinking that this was an act of good will,” Wood added.

Barchi has maintained that he’s handled a precarious balance to offset the cost of tuition as much as possible.

“We run within a 1.2 percent operating margin, for a business that’s about $4.3 billion,” Barchi told students at the October board of governors meeting. “I keep it that way intentionally, I’m not going to raise the operating margin because we’re taking those dollars to keep down tuition.”

"Over the last several years, I am proud that we have been able to keep tuition increases at a minimum while simultaneously strengthening our academic profile," Barchi wrote in his letter. "Despite our efforts, more than 13,000 of you still must commit many hours each week to working on our campuses to defray the cost of your education. While holding an on-campus job can offer many benefits, we are cognizant of the delicate balance that you must strike between work and your studies."
