LU faculty and staff will not see a decrease in salaries

According to a release from Lincoln University, LU employees will no longer see a .5 percent reduction in their salary.

Faculty and staff were told in May that the decrease would take place on July 1. But, because of the elimination of two vacant positions, the university saved $96,000. Other positions were reconfigured and the operating expenses for the Blue Top Shop were eliminated to help with the savings.

“With these new opportunities to answer this budget shortfall, we are opting to utilize those resources, rather than taking away from those who work so hard on behalf of our students and this university,” said Interim President Michael Middleton.
