Virginia Tech President Tim Sands may soon have the power to impose furloughs or pay cuts up to 20% if the university deems such actions needed amid the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the objection of faculty, a finance committee of the school’s board of visitors on Friday unanimously adopted a resolution giving such authority to the president through June 2021. The full board is scheduled to vote on Tuesday. “We’re doing this in order to preserve jobs,” said Ken Miller, Tech’s vice president for finance.
