Pay cuts for highest-paid University employees potential help for budget - Red and Black

I would like to propose an alternative solution to fill in the holes left by the State of Georgia’s proposed budget cuts. During tough economic times, tough decisions must be made. In the choices laid out in the Summary of Reductions presented to Board of Regents, the University proposes eliminating 1,418 positions. These budget cuts will certainly leave deep gouges on the more than 1,000 who may end up jobless, but they will also affect many thousands more by reducing availability of community-oriented projects and endeavors supported by the University. Within the University community, 81 employees held salaries paying more than $200,000 in 2009.
