Dedication to Will Miller, continued:
Because it is a public institution, salary data are available to the public. For years, this information was only accessible through UVM's Bailey Howe Library Reserve Desk. Though it was among the most checked out documents, it was not accessible to those who could not get to the library while the Reference Desk was open or who were wary of being seen checking it out. Will began posting this information on his web site in 1993-1994 as a public service to the UVM and Vermont community. We continue this tradition in his memory.
For more information on the history of organizing at UVM, read Will's article: "Unionizing at the University of Vermont" from Thought and Action: The NEA Higher Education Journal, Vol VI., No. 1, (Spring 1990). You can read this article, and all of Will's writing by visiting The Will Miller Social Justice Lecture Series, a web site dedicated to Will and his legacy. There's a link there to Will's archived UVM page, which is chock full of fascinating and provocative material.
