Gutmann, highest paid Ivy League president, will not take COVID-induced pay cut like peers | The Daily Pennsylvanian

By Thomas A. Smith

Unlike other Ivy League presidents, Penn President Amy Gutmann will not take a pay cut for this academic year, instead opting to take a pay freeze. 

In response to the financial downturn brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the presidents of four Ivy League schools Harvard University, Dartmouth College, Brown University, and Cornell University have taken pay cuts of 20% or more for this academic year. So too has the president of Stanford University, who voluntarily slashed his salary by 20% and encouraged the University s senior leadership to take base pay reductions of five to 10%.

At my small but undeniably cute university, the grounds keeping staff and perhaps most or all other staff at the university, have been told they will longer get paid vacation.
