Hampton President Donates for Staff Raises

William R. Harvey, president of Hampton University, and Norma B. Harvey, his wife, have donated $166,000 to the university for staff salaries. The money will pay for the 118 full-time staff members who earn less than $8 an hour to have their pay rate raised to $8 an hour. The gift follows a $1 million donation by the Harveys this year for faculty salaries.
