>
> At Tennessee's state colleges and universities the staff that are
> classified as clerical are eligible for a salary increase if they pass the
> CPS (Certified Professional Secretary) exam. Library staff are classified
> as clerical. So basically library staff who study how to be good
> secretaries/administrative assistants and pass the exam get a salary
> increase.
> I am curious if this is unique to Tennessee or if other colleges or
> universities classify their staff as clerical and if so whether they have
> a similar CPS incentive program?
