Portland State renews President Wim Wiewel’s contract, will add 10 armed security officers

Portland State University's Board of Trustees voted Thursday to extend President Wim Wiewel's tenure by three years — without a raise.

According to the Oregonian, Wiewel had requested to forego a pay bump as the university faces financial challenges. He joined PSU in 2008, overseeing steady growth in enrollment and scholarships and a plan to expand the campus towards the Willamette River waterfront.

Wiewel has worked collaboratively with local businesses to expand critical workforce programs and spearheaded an effort to renovate the university's basketball arena to add event space.
