The Agnes Scott College Living Wage Campaign

Fighting for Economic Justice for All

A Letter One 2003 Alum Enclosed with Her Letter of Support to the President and Board of Trustees December 13, 2007

Filed under: Alumnae, Letters, Our Voices, Why I Support a Living Wage — asclivingwagecampaign @ 5:31 am

I am writing in support of a TRUE living wage for all ASC staff.  When I read the Board’s Resolution on Living Wage Policy, I was disturbed by the timeline for implementation of changes.  Moreover, I was offended by the length of service awards, beginning with $200 for 5 years of employment.  This is NOT a living wage!

ASC has the opportunity to join other collegiate leaders who have already instituted a living wage.  Don’t waste this chance!

I cannot in good faith begin donating to ASC until I know that ASC has stopped paying poverty wages to its staff.

Class of 2003
