LEWISTON – Despite spending more than $6 million on pandemic-related expenses, including extensive COVID-19 testing of students, Bates College said it anticipates “positive financial results for the current fiscal year that ends in June.
President Clayton Spencer said the good financial news means the college will increase salaries next year, make up for retirement contributions it halted and restore voluntary pay reductions among top staff members.
“Our success this year is a result of the extraordinary efforts of faculty and staff across the college, sustained over many months, together with strong adherence to public health guidelines by all,” Spencer said in a message to the college community.

LEWISTON A group of Bates College students are planning a protest Friday calling for administrators “to defund and disarm campus safety” officers.
An Instagram post by the Bates Leftist Coalition on Thursday.
The Bates Leftist Coalition said the 1 p.m. walk-out and rally is meant to “reemphasize our ongoing commitment and persistence to the work of disarming, defunding and reimaging” the Campus Safety Department.
The move follows a decision by the college this week to take away the batons carried by its security officers, who are not otherwise armed.
That decision followed a petition by the leftist coalition and the Bates Restorative and Transformative Justice Coalition, signed by 18 groups and 546 people, that called for the removal of both batons and handcuffs from officers and to oppose equipping them with body cameras.
Stars and fans alike are anxious to hear if the show will be coming back.
But if the May 5 episode showed anything, itâs that something has to change for him. First, he drops the ball as Bravoâs rep at a meeting (after walking in late) and the team loses out on time on the top deck at the shooting range. (Max Thieriotâs Clay Spenser is tasked with taking his place as the teamâs rep.) Then, he mouths off to Lt. Wes Soto (Mike Wade). Then, he turns on Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz), wondering when Bravo 1 started caring about him beyond what he does on missions. (Ouch! But heâs not the first to call Jason out on not noticing things about his soldiers away from ops.)
