State universities face payroll cuts
Administrators and educators at state universities in Illinois face steep budget cuts as the state grapples with a widening budget deficit, the Evansville Courier & Press reports. The economic crisis will likely lead to faculty members - who are state employees - to face decreases in their paycheck.
The news should not come as a surprise because Illinois is not alone. Many states throughout the country are facing significant deficits.
According to the paper, Illinois state Senator Martin Sandoval will begin a review of payrolls at the state's universities to see how money may be inappropriately allocated and if faculty members are simply earning too much.
The Courier & Press reports Sandoval recently released a study which revealed as many as 1,000 state employees make more than Illinois Governor Pat Quinn's $177,411 salary. Additionally, Sandoval's report found that two professors earned more than $600,000 in 2010.
State educators' pay is also cutting into other deficits. Professors at the University of Texas-El Paso face steep income cuts. According to the El Paso Times, school officials may slash as much as $28 million to $30 million from the university's payroll.
