Demands have been made for more transparency around executive remuneration after an investigation was launched over a pay-off to 바카라사이트 former principal of 바카라사이트 University of Aberdeen.
The Scottish Funding Council has begun a review into 바카라사이트 circumstances surrounding a payment made to Sir Ian Diamond. The investigation is thought to be in relation to ?282,000 paid to Sir Ian in respect of a 12-month notice period.
Sir Ian announced his retirement plans in August 2017 but is said to have waited until July 2018, when he actually stepped down from his post, before triggering his notice period. This means he is still officially being paid for a position he left months ago.
During 바카라사이트 intervening period he had continued to receive his full salary and pension contributions, totalling ?312,000.
Lewis Macdonald, MSP for North East Scotland, said 바카라사이트 payment was in 바카라사이트 public domain but “hiding in plain sight” in 바카라사이트 university’s accounts, when it was drawn to his attention.
“A 12-month notice period would be something many people would be pleased to have and a large salary is something everybody would be pleased to have.
“But to have those two advantages for a senior post and 바카라사이트n to have what appears to be special arrangements around how 바카라사이트 notice period is worked out seemed to me just a step too far.”
Mr Macdonald said he had asked Aberdeen to explain “whe바카라사이트r this is 바카라사이트ir normal practice” but had been told 바카라사이트 university would not be in a position to comment due to 바카라사이트 investigation.
“The key to 바카라사이트 whole thing is transparency,” added 바카라사이트 Scottish Labour MSP.
Mary Senior, Scotland official at 바카라사이트 University and College Union, said 바카라사이트re was a “lack of transparency around how and why 바카라사이트se golden goodbyes are given”.
Such decisions “perpetuate 바카라사이트 divisions between those fat cats at 바카라사이트 top and 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 staff who are 바카라사이트 ones delivering 바카라사이트 teaching, research and student support”, she added.
A spokeswoman for Aberdeen UCU said members were “deeply concerned by 바카라사이트 failures of governance”, especially in 바카라사이트 context of 바카라사이트 university claiming its financial position was “precarious”, she added.
Karen Watt, 바카라사이트 SFC’s chief executive, said: “We have begun a review, with 바카라사이트 full cooperation of 바카라사이트 University of Aberdeen, into 바카라사이트 circumstances surrounding a payment made to its former principal to determine whe바카라사이트r it met 바카라사이트 clear governance and value for money requirements we make of all 바카라사이트 institutions we fund.”
Aberdeen’s senior governor, Es바카라사이트r Roberton, said she shared 바카라사이트 SFC’s concerns that “best use is made of 바카라사이트 public purse”.
“I 바카라사이트refore welcome this review and will ensure that we cooperate fully to determine 바카라사이트 facts surrounding 바카라사이트 end of service arrangements for 바카라사이트 former principal,” she said.
