It’s Black Monday as Cleveland sacks its stars

It’s Black Monday as Cleveland sacks its stars

The faculty senate at Cleveland Institute of Music is holding an extraordinary meeting today after the CIM’s administration have told senior teachers that their salaries will be cut by as much as two-thirds in order to manage a $1.6 million tuition deficit. Apparently, parents and potential students have noticed that the CIM has been in turmoil over the past couple of years and decided to go elsewhere.

Sources tell slippedisc.com that Sharon Robinson and Jaime Laredo have decided to leave CIM rather than take a pay cut.

We also hear that Jeff Irvine has stepped down as chair of the viola department. Other names are hovering by the exits.

Last month, President Paul Hogle added $180,000 to his own pay packet, which tops $700k.

Apparently at student orientation, Paul Hogle’s wife told the student body ‘feel free to contact me if you wish to pray together’.
