My suggestion would be to freeze all instructors, all professors, and all university professionals at their current pay scale for three years as a minimum. After that three-year period, I’m limit all pay raises to a maximum of two percent every two years.
And how do you freeze all of the operating costs, e.g., utilities, garbage collection, maintenance, etc. The University of Texas in Austin has about 40,000 students. Your are running what amounts to a small city.

I don’t understand why everyone thinks keeping teachers or professors salaries down is a good idea. You get what you pay for. These folks go to school for about 25 years from high school through PHD and you want them to work for peanuts. 2 percent a year would not even cover the taxes that will be raised. No I am not a teacher but you guys think it is easy apparently or work for free. When are we going to freeze salaries CEOs of companies?
