Financial Emergency

MARQUETTE, Mich.--The Board of Control of Northern Michigan University has declared a financial emergency and has authorized the university's administration to negotiate salary freezes and reductions, layoffs, and other cost-cutting measures with several campus unions, including the American Association of University Professors.

Twenty administrators have notified President John X. Jamrich that they will forgo salary increases for 1982-83 and take days off without pay to help achieve a budget reduction of about $3 million. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported recently.

The new cuts follow a $5.5 million reduction in the university's budget accomplished last year through attrition and job consolidations.
