IU's McRobbie Plans Salary Freeze for Senior Administrators
Message from IUPUI Chancellor Charles R. Bantz:
The state of the U.S. and global economy underscores the prudent and necessary actions that have been recommended or taken by our president, Michael A. McRobbie. On the same day the news release below was released, the Wall Street Journal reported: "The U.S. economy is deteriorating more rapidly than expected just six weeks ago, indicating the recession will be deeper and longer than feared..."
We are in the process of identifying each position on our campus which will be affected by this policy in the days to come. For those who are likely to be affected by the recommendation to freeze salaries, let me say I appreciate your leadership, support, and sacrifice as we enter these challenging economic times. We are very fortunate to have leaders like you.
