Purdue University officials confirmed Tuesday that the school will be trimming its federal lobbying budget and downsizing its Washington, D.C., office.
Spokesman Chris Sigurdson said exact figures on how much Purdue will save by altering its presence there weren’t immediately available, but the cuts were being executed as a part of an internal restructuring.
The news came just a day after President Mitch Daniels announced that merit pay raises would be eliminated through 2015 for all senior administrators, deans, and administrative and professional staff making more than $50,000 per year. It’s expected to net Purdue $5 million over the next two years.
