Pay raises have been cancelled for two top administrators at the University of Southern Maine.
The school's president rescinded the pay hikes given to her chief of staff, and the school's public affairs director.
Both got raises of about 20% to bump their annual pay to $106,000.
They were among dozens of employees who got pay hikes while most workers' wages were frozen and with the school facing $5 million in budget cuts.
