This report is the work of a Task Force appointed in January 2005 by Candace White, then president of the University of Tennessee Faculty Senate. The task force was charged with updating and extending an earlier study that was carried out in 2000/2001 in conjunction with a living wage campaign then being waged on the UTK campus. The final report was delivered to the senate in November 2005.
