All faculty and staff at four-year institutions take a 50 percent pay and benefits cut or accept the pay that community college faculty and staff get, whichever is lower.
Actions speak louder than words.
Thank you.

Somehow I think that idea will be met with a big middle finger. No one is going to volutarily cut their pay.
