Today’s Supreme Court Ruling
The Supreme Court issued its ruling in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overturning its prior decisions in Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood Association of Southeastern Pa v. Casey (1992) and deferring authority to the states regarding legal access to an abortion. We cannot overstate the profound legal, personal and societal implications of this ruling, which has reversed nearly 50 years of precedent.

Merit Program and One-Time Payment
As we look ahead to the start of AY22-23, I am pleased to share that Carnegie Mellon University will fund a merit increase program for FY23, whereby merit increases to salaries will be awarded to employees based directly on an employee’s performance evaluation. As in years past, following the completion of the salary planning process, eligible employees will be notified of their FY23 merit increase by their supervisor. To further support our Carnegie Mellon community during the current inflationary environment, the university is also implementing a one-time payment of $1,500 for all eligible CMU faculty and staff (including Temporary Employment Services staff).

Pausing to Reflect and Celebrate
As we wind down from an exhilarating Commencement season, I remain inspired by all that we have achieved together, and by the sense of community that has defined the past academic year. With your support, we have continued to enhance our excellence and reputation across education, the CMU experience, research, and societal impact, even as we begin to turn the page on the pandemic. It has truly been an extraordinary year, and this message contains just some of its highlights.
