Brandeis reactions to the Board of Trustees transparency initiative.
Remember when we all signed that petition about reforming Brandeis executive pay?
Well, it worked! Kind of.
Just recently, the Board of Trustees met. They felt our pressure. And they voted for a big overhaul in how they oversee and disclose presidential pay.
Sounds like victory, right?
Well, they didn't meet our demands.
You, I, and over 1600 other people demanded that the Board of Trustees tie executive pay to the wages of the lowest paid workers on campus. That's gone unaddressed.
So, is this victory? And how do you feel about the news?
Please let us know. We'll take your reactions and share them with the news media, staff, alumni association, student union, and Board of Trustees. And, of course, let's figure out together what to do next.
