About 3%, to be adjusted by merit rankings.
We received the same last year, although no merit pay the year before. We don't get COLA ever, so I'm sure my overall salary is going down as well. Health insurance and parking fees have gone up. No furloughs, no firings.
And I'm in TX.

No COL raise this year or last, but I got a nice equity bump last year, so I'm better off than many folks around me. This year, we get a little bonus that's supposed to ease the pain of no raise, which I suppose is better than nothing.

Technically, yes--but that's going from zero income to the salary offered in my contract. Furloughs will be in effect this year, so that offered salary will translate to fewer real dollars this year. It's better than nothing, nevertheless (as ellaminnow stated earlier, it's just good to have a job).

Best case: COLA between 0-0.4%, merit related increments for full profs, automatic increments for other academics if not at the top of the scale.
Medium case: COLA between 0-0.4%, NO merit related increments for full profs, automatic increments for other academics if not at the top of the scale.
Worse case: Let's not go there...

No merit or COLA again this year. None last year, either. Health insurance premiums have gone up. And retirement contributions have gone down. Apparently some administrators have been taking furlough days, and they may trickle down to faculty and staff.
My stupid union keeps voting to give back or defer COLA, and there's no money in the merit pot. I'm eligible for big time merit this year, but won't see it. The raise will get recorded, though, and they tell me that if merit ever comes back, I'll eventually see the raise, but not to hold my breath.
As it is, I'm taking home about $150 less a month with all these changes. This really frosts me; although my salary is 20% higher than at my former university, I take home about $500 less a month. Something's gotta give, and I don't think the landlord is amenable to negotiations, so I told Sallie Mae that she can suck it for a little while.

About 3% + merit
But our contract is up next year -- and I have a feeling that we will be stuck with 0% or furloughs.

I got an email a couple of months ago that basically said "We weren't planning on giving raises, but now we are reconsidering the issue and we just wanted you to know that if we decide to give out merit raises this year, you have met the merit criteria and will be getting one."
So I have no idea.
We never have COLA's; but none of the state systems have experience furloughs, either.
Individual health insurance is covered 100%, although this was evidently on the table with the rising premiums this year.

What would compel your institution to consider raising your salary independent of offers elsewhere? Accept your situation or increase your market value to gain mobility.

I got a small raise, 2.6% (but I don't know why). I think it may be part of the salary structure here; they pay a little bit more for people with n+1 years of experience than with n, so the fact that I survived my first year here was for something. They may have built-in COLA, or something. I am almost afraid to ask, for fear of finding out it was a mistake.
The school I left is getting no raises at all, and won't next year either, so I feel somewhat pleased. On the other hand, there are furloughs here (last year and this upcoming year both) so the pay on my contract is not what I'm going to get in my paycheck even after deductions.

Unfortunately, I think conjugate gives good advice.

A little over 3% this year after three years of no raises.

Only 1ish% here, contingent on enrollment numbers for the fall. My fear is that, come the day when the recession/depression is over, the admin. will "forget" to bump the raises back up to their standard level....

I received a 3% raise last year and 2% this year. Not much, but hearing others' stories makes me feel grateful for this.

No COLA, no merit and 6 days of furlough, which you cannot take on a day that you teach.
