WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Top leaders at William & Mary are taking pay cuts in response to financial uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
President Katherine Rowe will ask the governing board of the Williamsburg school to decrease her compensation by 15% through the end of 2020.
The school provost and chief operating officer already have voluntarily reduced compensation by 12%.
These reductions and a voluntary furlough program are part of cost-reduction moves designed to prepare for significant funding gaps.
Classes start on Wednesday.
