04/29/20 | General
In light of the ongoing challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, all University of Oregon head coaches have voluntarily agreed to take a 10 percent salary reduction for the 2020-21 academic year.
UO head coaches are joining President Michael H. Schill (12 percent reduction), athletic director Rob Mullens (10 percent), and the institution's vice presidents and deans (10 percent) in the decision to take voluntary salary reductions.
Additionally, all UO head coaches have also agreed to forego all academic, Pac-12 and postseason performance incentives for the 2020-21 academic year.
"We appreciate the leadership role taken on by our head coaches as we deal with this unprecedented crisis," said Mullens. "This speaks to the selfless nature of our Oregon coaching staff and their desire to help us navigate the current challenges and those on the horizon.
"Our goal is to accelerate from this situation well-positioned to continue to achieve our goals of broad-based excellence and of providing an exceptional student-athlete experience, and we are thankful to our head coaches for their collective and consistent actions in supporting our mission."
