<br>UT board ponders fee hike
<br>
<br>By Jacques Billeaud, News-Sentinel staff writer
<br>
<br>Students at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville may pay $168 more next
<br>school year to give professors merit raises.
<br>
<br>The increase, which UT's board will consider today and Thursday, is
<br>necessary to bring faculty pay closer to peer schools, officials
<br>said.
<br>
<br>The raises would be to reward outstanding professors and to prevent some
<br>teachers from leaving, said UT President Joe Johnson. "You
<br>don't want another institution to cherry-pick you."
