ATHENS - University of Georgia President Jere Morehead delivered the annual State of the University speech Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Morehead said pay raises for faculty and staff were important, and despite merit pay raises last year, more needed to be done.<br />
<br />
"The University of Georgia still lags behind regional and national peers in that regard," said Morehead. "That is why improving salaries for faculty and staff will remain a top priority for the foreseeable future."<br />
<br />
Morehead also touched on fee freezes. "I'm pleased to announce today that the university will extend the freeze on food services and parking rates for our students through the 2015-2016 academic year," Morehead said.<br />
<br />
"Together, we will create a future for this institution defined by unparalleled learning opportunities for students; by world changing research and scholarship; by strong ties to communities throughout Georgia and beyond; and by responsible planning and management of our precious resources," Morehead concluded.<br />
