University of Delaware’s non-union employees will all take a 5% pay cut for the remainder of the fiscal year, the latest in a string of efforts to shore up the school’s projected $250 million financial deficit brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pay cut will come in the form of nine furloughed days: three days before Thanksgiving, three before Christmas, and three at employees' discretion. The salary reduction will be evenly spread through paychecks, starting Nov. 1 until the end of June 2021.
