To inform the faculty’s reasoning about budget-related matters at the time of pandemic-related austerity, AAUP chapter members have put together two fact sheets. They are based on publicly available information about school budgets and the college’s endowment. The fact sheets are:

• A top-paid employee compensation comparison of Whitman with its peer institutions (relative to the schools’ operating budgets);
• Comments on the endowment in comparison to peer institutions.
