Stanford Administrators Accept Salary Cut

Stanford University, that higher-learning institute that most of us did not get into, is feeling the economic pinch just like their public school plebeian counterparts. Senior administrators at Stanford plan on taking a salary cut this year, including the school president and provost. The cuts will affect 15 to 20 positions with salaries that begin in $250,000 range, so, you know, no worries. President John Hennessy, who takes in $700,000 annually, has volunteered to take a 10% reduction. In other Stanford news, someone (allegedly) climbed down Hoover Tower late last night, taping huge footprints to the side of the building. Anybody have pics of this youthful frivolity? If so, do send them our way.
