Northwestern University will resume 5% automatic and up to 5% matching contributions to faculty and staff actively on the University’s Retirement Plan, beginning Jan. 1, 2021, the Daily Northwestern reported.
NU had been criticized for this move by NU Community Not Cops, a Twitter account demanding the school “divest from police force and invest in Black student communities.”
The Twitter account claimed Schapiro was “squashing faculty dissent” of his stance on recent student protests with this reinstatement.
