Excerpt<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"With universities statewide closed to on-campus instruction, Wright State University is cutting administrators\u2019 salaries, freezing contracts and capital projects \u2014 and leaders may consider a workforce reduction, university leaders said in a campus email Monday.<\/p>\n

With enrollment down due to the global pandemic, state government has recently informed university leaders to prepare for a \u201csignificant reduction in what is remaining of this year\u2019s state share of instruction,\u201d the university said in the email.<\/p>\n

Refunds or credits due to students exceed $3 million and summer enrollment has been hit, resulting in a \u201cdecrease of 17 percent\u201d for summer enrollment, the university said.<\/p>\n

As a result, Wright State President Sue Edwards, with the university provost, vice presidents, vice provosts and deans have \u201cvoluntarily agreed to take a 20 percent reduction in salary (or stipend for Deans),\u201d Wright State said.<\/p>\n

In addition, a hold has been placed on \u201call non-critical university-funded capital projects,\u201d new contractual agreements for goods and services have been frozen, and \u201call discretionary non-compensation spending\u201d has been eliminated, the email said.<\/p>\n

Campus facilities will be left in \u201ca low energy usage mode\u201d where possible, the university also said.<\/p>\n

Wright State added that workforce cuts may be considered at some point in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo date, Wright State has been committed to maintaining all personnel and positions. The state of Ohio has indicated they will release a plan addressing the return to work for Ohio businesses this week. We will review the plan and its impact on university operations in order to determine future staffing plans, which may include reductions in force.\u201d<\/p>\n

A university spokesman Monday said Wright State leaders would not comment beyond the campus email for the moment.<\/p>\n
