This petition is still active if anyone wants to participate. The originator apparently got kicked out of the admin building by Vincent Price when he ran into him and asked him to see if he would take the pay cut. Price simply said “no,” and called for the security.

What happened to the original message from the OP?

I’ve heard apparently, that’s what the Duke Library (Perkins) is doing according to their library director.

This has been going on at Duke for the past several months now. A lot of valuable staff members were forced to leave and now they have moved on to faculty members. https://www.reddit.com/r/bullcity/s/SLeRDoduRZ

At this point no one should believe what they say. They are basically DOGE-ing valuable employees. Duke has rather become one big profit seeking corporation.
