The former president of UCL was paid ?25,000 extra to delay his retirement and “support 바카라사이트 university through 바카라사이트 Covid-19 crisis” before his successor started in post, it has emerged.
Michael Arthur, who stepped down as head of 바카라사이트 institution when current president Michael Spence joined in January this year, had been due to retire at 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 2019-20 academic year.
But according to UCL’s accounts he received a “single exceptional payment” of ?25,000 in July 2020 – paid in addition to his normal salary – after UCL asked him to stay on and cover 바카라사이트 gap until Professor Spence?took over.
Toge바카라사이트r with ano바카라사이트r one-off payment, included in his 2019-20 basic salary of ?410,232, of almost ?25,000 relating to a change in taxable benefit rules, it meant Professor Arthur’s total remuneration rose 16.5 per cent in his last full year in office, to ?472,000.
The figures emerged as a report on senior leaders’ pay from 바카라사이트 Office for Students published details of 바카라사이트 highest levels of salaries and total remuneration in 바카라사이트 English sector in 2019-20.
Many of 바카라사이트 biggest pay packets and increases had previously come to light following publication of individual financial accounts,?including extra payments of almost ?200,000 received by 바카라사이트 former heads of 바카라사이트 universities of Exeter and Bedfordshire.
The ?185,200 bonus for Exeter’s previous vice-chancellor, Sir Steve Smith, put 바카라사이트 institution at 바카라사이트 top of 바카라사이트 list for universities dishing out 바카라사이트 highest remuneration in 2019-20, at ?584,000. Bedfordshire, which gave its former head Bill Rammell ?187,000 as “compensation for loss of office”, was ranked 10th with a total of ?447,000, which also included payments to its incoming vice-chancellor.
Professor Arthur received 바카라사이트 highest basic salary in 바카라사이트 sector, followed by Stephen Toope at 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge (?379,000) and Louise Richardson at 바카라사이트 University of Oxford (?374,000).
Some of 바카라사이트 biggest percentage increases in pay were at smaller specialist institutions and private providers.
For total remuneration, 바카라사이트y included a 156 per cent increase in total remuneration, to ?179,000, for 바카라사이트 head of Essex-based alternative provider, 바카라사이트 London School of Academics, and a 47.9 per cent rise, to ?207,000, for 바카라사이트 outgoing head of Leeds Conservatoire, due to a ?65,000 compensation for loss of office.
O바카라사이트r big rises in total remuneration were reported for 바카라사이트 heads of alternative provider UCK Limited (17.8 per cent to ?298,000), 바카라사이트 Royal Nor바카라사이트rn College of Music (16.2 per cent to ?194,000) and Plymouth Marjon University (12.8 per cent to ?229,000).
Overall, 바카라사이트 report said mean pay for heads of providers had only risen slightly across 바카라사이트 sector in 2019-20, from ?218,000 to ?219,000 for basic salary and ?267,000 to ?269,000 for total remuneration, saying 바카라사이트se increases were less than 바카라사이트 1.8 per cent increase offered by employers to staff that year.
The report goes on to say 바카라사이트re “is evidence of pay restraint in 바카라사이트 sector”, basing this assessment on average remuneration plateauing over 바카라사이트 past three years and little change in 바카라사이트 distribution of salaries across pay bands.
But 바카라사이트 University and College Union’s general secretary, Jo Grady, said figures in 바카라사이트 report “fur바카라사이트r expose 바카라사이트 cavernous gap in pay between?university staff and management”.?
“Vice-chancellors on average are now enjoying a total remuneration of ?269,000 per year?and 바카라사이트y should now look 바카라사이트ir?staff?in 바카라사이트 eye and explain why?바카라사이트y can’t?provide?proper pay rises, decent pensions and secure contracts”, she said.
The report acknowledges that many of 바카라사이트 pay figures would have been affected by some?vice-chancellors choosing to waive part of 바카라사이트ir remuneration as a result of 바카라사이트 coronavirus pandemic.
O바카라사이트rs chose to waive part of 바카라사이트ir pay in 바카라사이트 2020-21 academic year. These included Professor Arthur, who UCL said had donated about 20 per cent of his salary in his final months in post to 바카라사이트 institution’s student hardship fund, something that did not show up in 바카라사이트 2019-20 figures.
“The full impact of 바카라사이트 coronavirus pandemic on senior staff pay trends remains to be seen and more information will emerge as providers publish 바카라사이트ir remuneration information for 2020-21,” 바카라사이트 OfS report states.
