The staff at GoodNewsPDX thinks Elson Floyd is awesome. Just, flat out incredible. Elson is the president of Washington State University. He went to his bosses (the board of regents) and said “you know, times are tough and I want to lead by example so I would like you to please cut my pay . . . “
“By $100,000.” Yup, 100 grand. $100K. Lots and lots of dollars. Considering his annual salary of $725,000 that’s a near 14% drop. In a similar move, UW president Mark Emmert voluntarily gave up a pay raise this year.
