Stormy Weather at HSU
Meanwhile, at least one professor, Phyllis Chin, has voluntarily taken a salary cut to help assuage the impending budget reductions. Since last month, Chin has donated 5 percent of each pay check to the HSU math department where she been teaching for the past 31 years. On Tuesday she said she was hoping that other HSU employees - in particular administrators - would follow her lead, but as far as she is aware, not one has.
“The administration recently had gotten raises and I was hoping that some of them might see to doing the same thing,” she said. “By myself I don’t make much of a difference.”
The next University Budget Committee meeting will take place this Friday at HSU’s Corbett Conference Room from 1-4 p.m.
