According to a recent piece by The Campus’ editorial board called “Middlebury may be next on Trump’s chopping block. What now?”, Middlebury College is one of 60 schools who received a letter warning them of antisemitism investigations on campus. Following the pattern of the Trump administration’s threats to Columbia and other universities, a place on this list may mean the college will be targeted by the Trump administration for potential cuts to its federal funding. As a 1984 grad, The Campus is not part of my daily reading routine. However, I was motivated by national headlines related to other colleges and universities to take a look, and felt curious to know how Middlebury is navigating the storm. Thankfully, The Campus did not disappoint.

It is no secret that Middlebury underpays its faculty and staff relative to comparable institutions. But have you heard that the benefits are really good? For faculty and staff who joined the college before 2017, the college contributes 15% of their salary to their retirement fund each year once they hit the age of 45. This is an unheard-of rate, but it helps offset the much smaller salaries our faculty earn compared to peer institutions. Middlebury's salaries for associate and full professors — the groups most affected by this announcement — place us near the bottom quartile of Middlebury's peers, many of which, including Amherst, Bowdoin, Colgate, Pomona, Washington & Lee, Wesleyan, and Williams, pay 10–16% more than Middlebury.

When I began at Middlebury in fall 2020, I was certain I would major in history, be on the swim team for four years and join a political group on campus. I did indeed study history, but instead of my latter two plans, however, by my junior and senior years, I was spending dozens of hours a week in the Hepburn Hall basement writing breaking news stories, fact-checking op-eds and arguing with my co-editors over front page layout.
