Duke Faces 2.4 Million Shortfall Amid Protests
Duke University confronts a projected deficit of at least 2.4 million this year as endowment income falls to 200 million from 250 million in 18 months. The university plans a hiring freeze, dorm janitorial cuts, and closures of the forestry school and primate facility, with potential across the board salary cuts or higher tuition if needed. Faculty questions focus on balancing education goals with revenue from athletics. President Terry Sanford pursues a 1976 Democratic nomination campaign, complicating campus leadership presence during the crisis.
