reduces pay

By CasNews Stal

‘Selkirk College board ~

members’ voted to reduce their $3,000 yearly honor- ariums by $300 this week in an attempt to show leader- ship in a time of budget re- straint. ,

“The board felt a respon- sibility to demonstrate some restraint at a time when a segment of the colleges were being asked to do the same,” said Web Webster, chairman of the board.

The decision ‘followed on the heels of a provincial government cutback in col- lege funding of narly $500,000 in the 1982-83 bud- get.

Board members will be taking the cut in a lump sum which will see their quarterly payment drop from $750 to $400 — a 40 per cent re- duction.

Webster, who receives an honorarium of $4,000 a year will see his. payment drop from $1,000 to $600 in the next quarter.
