Duke Administrators Must Take A Pay Cut


Duke Administrators Must Take A Pay Cut
The Issue
Demand President Price and other top Duke administrators (those making $500,000+ per year) take a voluntary, temporary pay cut as a cost-reduction measure rather than laying off hundreds of people. Administrators at peer institutions, such as Harvard's president, Alan Garber, have already pledged a 25% pay cut to support their universities.
By signing this petition, you ask that President Price and others to uphold their institutional mandate to advance the mission of Duke University instead of prioritizing their private financial gain at the expense of Duke and its faculty, staff, and students.
