Iowa City University of Iowa senior associate dean Steve Maravetz will cut his $129,530 salary by 10 percent starting March 1 amid state budget strain. He created a Facebook group to explain the move and promote voluntary pay cuts as a way to avert layoffs, while others fear the impact on workers. UI and ISU actions reflect broader belt-tightening with furloughs and hiring freezes to reduce costs.
