Description:

Keith Groty received all three degrees from the University of Michigan and came to MSU to teach in the School of Labor and Industrial Relations in 1968. In 1971 Dr. Groty was named interim director of the School and in 1972 he was appointed Assistant Vice President of Personnel and Employee Relations. During his tenure as AVP he created a system to recognize equity adjustments, particularly for female salaries. This kept faculty and MSU unions pretty much on the same level as far as benefits were concerned and he implemented a system to handle health care and wage increases with all the campus unions at the same time in coalition. He also helped create the Retirees Service Corps and the Retirees Association. Dr. Groty retired in January 1998.
