Wilberforce Faculty Endure Pay Cut, Increased Course Load
WILBERFORCE, Ohio
Faculty members at Wilberforce University have agreed to work longer hours for less pay to keep the private, historically Black university afloat.
The concessions will allow Wilberforce to avoid eliminating majors and laying off employees, the university’s president, the Rev. Floyd Flake, said last month.
“Every part of this family is involved in a positive way,” Flake said. “We’ve made a determination we will rise together and we will survive.”
