That's another place where maybe the CAUT can do some good. Teachers get more 
pay with advancement, from instructor, to associate professor, to full 
professor. Even secretaries go from one pay scale to another, without having to 
leave the school. But, as Conrad said, we are stuck. 

Maybe CAUT can promote tying our pay to our education. Not only as a starting 
point, as in being an RPT, and/or having an advanced "real" education, like a 
BS or MA degree, but also with additional courses taken at seminars and 
convention. Although this might be more along the lines of getting some sort of 
certification, for which there wasn't too much support, if the certification 
could mean more money, it might be something that would have some support.
