IN-37: Student Living Wage

All of the institution's student employees (e.g., part-time student workers, work study students, graduate research assistants, graduate teaching assistants) are paid a living wage for one adult.

To determine the local living wage:

• U.S. institutions must use the Living Wage Calculator hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to look up the living wage for “1 Adult” for the community in which the main campus is located.

• Canadian institutions must use Living Wage Canada’s standards (if a living wage for one adult has been calculated for the community in which the main campus is located) or else the appropriate after tax Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) for a family unit of one person (expressed as an hourly wage).

• Institutions located outside the U.S. and Canada must use local equivalents of the above standards if available or else the local poverty indicator for one adult (expressed as an hourly wage).

This credit is optional and may be earned by any institution that meets the criteria.

An institution earns 0.5 bonus points when all student employees are paid a living wage. Partial points are not available.
