Private College in Georgia Cuts 403(b) Match
The Chattanoogan reports that the Presbyterian-affiliated college in Georgia has ceased making matching contributions to employees’ 403(b) retirement accounts. Any increase in health care premiums in the coming year will be borne by employees, the school said, according to the news report.
In addition, the school announced there will be no
raises for any faculty or staff, except those minimal
raises (less than 1% of salary) mandated by contract, and
all senior administrators have taken a voluntary
reduction in compensation.
“These adjustments are as distressing as they are
necessary. It is important to us that in this process we
are honoring all contracts,” said Covenant president Dr.
Niel Nielson.
