Brandeis Offers Buyouts to 150 Staffers

Brandeis University is offering buyouts to about 150 staffers amid an estimated $6.5 million deficit, The Boston Globe ​reports. Last month, the university paid nearly $5 million to its former president in deferred compensation and for unused sabbatical. A spokeswoman for the university told the paper the large payout to the president did not factor into the decision to offer the voluntary buyouts, which do not affect faculty members.
