As the University of Nebraska faces another round of steep budget cuts—$20 million systemwide and $27.5 million at UNL alone—President Jeffrey Gold is in line for a $159,000 bonus if approved next week. While most faculty and staff won’t see raises and some programs are on the chopping block, Gold’s bonus is part of his contract for hitting performance goals. The contrast between executive pay and widespread cuts is raising eyebrows across campus. How do you feel about leadership bonuses during tough financial times? Should performance pay be reconsidered when budgets are tight? #Education #College #Nebraska
