CEDAR FALLS – The University of Northern Iowa athletics department announced today that it is implementing multiple cost-saving measures in response to a budget shortfall that is expected to exceed $1 million.
UNI staff and coaches will take temporary salary reductions for fiscal year 2021. Additionally, all contract incentives for head coaches and athletics director David Harris have been suspended for the fiscal year.
“We understand that these temporary reductions will be challenging for our staff and coaches, and we feel fortunate to have a team of staff members that understand the unprecedented situation that we face," Harris said.
