Radcliffe Obtains Low Wage Grant

Within the next two days Radcliffe will receive a special educational employment license which will enable it to continue to pay lower than the standard minimum hourly wage. This permit will also allow payment on an hourly basis for work less than the three hours required by law, and is retroactive.

The license was granted by the State Minimum Wage Commission after a special request by the college on Saturday. Harvard and Wellesley had received the permit some time ago under the Commission's "Mandatory Order 28B," issued on June 16.
