LA GRANDE â As 2020 closed on a year of declining enrollment and tuition revenue for many of Oregonâs public universities, Eastern Oregon University in La Grande opted to increase President Tom Inskoâs salary and to award him $22,500 in year-end bonuses.
The EOU Board of Trustees on Nov. 12, 2020, approved two bonuses for Insko: a $7,500 âgoal attainment awardâ and a $15,000 âmeritorious achievement award.â The trustees also awarded Insko a 2.6% increase to his quarter-million dollar salary.
The move came even as year-over-year enrollment declined at EOU in 2020 â a trend universities across the state and the country have experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
