Emory University’s Integrated Financial Planning and Budgeting Executive Committee accepted a proposal on Nov. 28 to incrementally increase the student minimum wage to $15 an hour by fall 2024. Emory Students for Students, a student advocacy group, publicized the decision in a Dec. 5 Instagram post. This decision comes after Students for Students gained signatures from about 1,400 Emory community members and 86 organizations on their petition to raise the student minimum wage. Administrators have been studying the issue of student pay since late 2021, according to Vice President of Human Resources Theresa Milazzo.
