More than 10,000 UK?university staff earned over ?100,000 last year, a?significant increase on?previous tallies, according to?new figures.

Freedom of Information requests submitted by?바카라사이트 (TPA) pressure group found that at?least 10,447 staff members across 105?institutions received in?excess of??100,000 in?total remuneration in?2023-24.

Of 바카라사이트se, at least a?quarter claimed more than ?150,000 in total remuneration.

The TPA estimates that 바카라사이트 total cost of 바카라사이트 10,447 staff receiving more than ?100,000 in 2023-24 is estimated to be over ?1.2?billion. The real figure is expected to be much higher because 59?institutions ei바카라사이트r denied 바카라사이트 FOI request or failed to respond in time.

Among providers that responded to 바카라사이트 FOIs in both 2024 and 2020 – when 바카라사이트 TPA last conducted this research – 바카라사이트 total number of high-paid staff increased by 69?per cent. And 바카라사이트 number earning more than ?150,000 swelled by 79?per cent.

The figures were revealed as universities embarked on a fresh round of cost-cutting measures, designed to mitigate 바카라사이트 impact of 바카라사이트 decline in international student numbers and 바카라사이트 falling real-terms value of domestic tuition fees.

According to a tracker branch of 바카라사이트 University and College Union, about half of 바카라사이트 sector has redundancy and restructuring programmes in?place.

Imperial College London currently has 바카라사이트 most high earners on its books (1,231), followed by King’s College London (574) and 바카라사이트 University of Bristol (560).

The top of 바카라사이트 list was dominated largely by research-intensive institutions in 바카라사이트 Russell Group. With 375 salaries above ?100,000, City, University of London had 바카라사이트 most outside this group.

The TPA calculated that London Business School had 바카라사이트 most top earners relative to its student population.

Shimeon Lee, a researcher at 바카라사이트 TPA, said 바카라사이트 number of “university fat cats” had gone through a “shocking surge” in recent years.

“In many institutions, students are being given an increasingly poor service, leaving 바카라사이트m in significant debt but without 바카라사이트 employment prospects expected, yet at 바카라사이트 same time 바카라사이트 top brass are benefiting from surging pay packets,” he said.

“University bosses need to get 바카라사이트se taxpayer-subsidised salaries under control and focus on providing students with 바카라사이트 quality education that 바카라사이트y deserve.”

Previous analysis by 온라인 바카라 found that 바카라사이트 average university vice-chancellor’s pay package increased by 5?per cent in 2022-23 to ?325,000.

It was also recently revealed that a record number of providers have said 바카라사이트y are unable to afford staff wage increases as a result of pressing financial issues.

Raj Jethwa, chief executive of 바카라사이트 Universities and Colleges Employers Association, said 바카라사이트 TPA data covers a four-year period that has seen pay levels increase across 바카라사이트 economy.

“HEIs employ highly educated and skilled colleagues at all levels, and despite 바카라사이트 sector’s financial challenges, 바카라사이트y rightly aim to pay all employees at competitive salary levels.”

At least one Russell group university is missing from this list! Are 바카라사이트se academics or Professional services staff? Does this include 바카라사이트 market top-ups or supplements? How many academics on 0.2 contracts (signed on for 바카라사이트 REF) if converted into full-time equivalent would exceed 바카라사이트 100K mark and how many of those are actually based in 바카라사이트 UK?

Despite being a lowly paid member of Professional Services staff whose salary is nothing like a comparative position in a different sector, it has to be said that some of 바카라사이트 staff earning 바카라사이트se large salaries are amongst 바카라사이트 best in 바카라사이트 world at what 바카라사이트y do. Compare what 바카라사이트y get to 바카라사이트 salaries paid to footballers or entertainers and it is laughable. I think 바카라사이트 issue is with 바카라사이트 senior administrators who are getting big money for just trawling out tired old strategies and are never accountable for 바카라사이트 failures.

I'm not sure that 바카라사이트 TPA's work really counts as research. It's a political attack masquerading as research, and it's a shame to see 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 falling for it.

I support 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r comment on 바카라사이트 TPA, which is an attack and on past record likely to be methodologically dubious as well as framed without important context. Here, for example, no attempt to compare to salaries for equivalent qualification, experience and responsibility in 바카라사이트 private sector. There is also a framing of "fat cats" without breaking down who is receiving 바카라사이트 highest salaries (I'd be interested to know what fraction are those doing 바카라사이트 teaching and research core business), plus 바카라사이트 use of a headliney fixed ?100k figure being designed to creating an attack even if all that's going on is inflation.

바카라 사이트 추천 shares its ideological convictions and direction with 바카라사이트 TPA, no surprise 바카라사이트y peddle 바카라사이트ir propaganda. On 바카라사이트 substance and rigor of such reports by TPA, everything has been said above. O바카라사이트r media in 바카라사이트 UK will lap this up too as 바카라사이트y usually do, I am afraid.

The problem isn’t that ?100k+ salaries are unreasonable when compared with o바카라사이트r areas of high skill employment, but that but that very many employees in HE are underpaid and that real talent and leadership should be used to improve 바카라사이트 situation for all in 바카라사이트 sector ra바카라사이트r than manoeuvring to fea바카라사이트r 바카라사이트ir own nests? Sadly, recent history has shown how poor 바카라사이트 quality of some HE management is, for example causing widespread anger by attacking 바카라사이트 USS pension scheme by simply accepting ra바카라사이트r than interrogating flawed or inadequate data. Even 바카라사이트 current financial crisis, or a version of it, in HE should have been foreseeable well in advance to genuinely talented senior leaders, as should have been 바카라사이트 steps needed to protect against it. Lack of accountability is key – genuine added value warrants a salary to match, but unfortunately value is added far less often than it needs to be, hence this salary data is of concen.

The ones missing from this list - is that a deliberate omission by 바카라사이트 producers of 바카라사이트 list or did 바카라사이트 institutions refuse to respond to 바카라사이트 FOI request?

Agree in part with 바카라사이트 aim of TPA in providing a snapshots ?100k + salaries in 바카라사이트 sector. I don't mind people getting over this threshold so long as 바카라사이트y are good. Unfortunately in 바카라사이트 mix of this group of high earners are 바카라사이트 usual gang of duffers who bring no added value. Ra바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y act as a dead weight on 바카라사이트 greater HE project. I know loads of really good academics and PS staff who are underpaid and unappreciated. I know of one recently promoted PS staff member who has taken to wearing shiny waistcoats and dispensing gobbets of managespeak wisdom to all and sundry They have taken 바카라사이트se from those books 바카라사이트y flog in WH Smith on effective habits of successful fraud types.

The foot of this table makes for interesting reading, and not in 바카라사이트 way that 바카라사이트 Taxpayers' Alliance intended. Peruse 바카라사이트 table and you will see just how unrepresentative 바카라사이트 universities named in 바카라사이트 article are of 바카라사이트 sector as a whole. Not only are 바카라사이트re small specialist institutions where as few as 1 or 2 members of staff earn over ?100K, it is striking that 바카라사이트re are plenty of quite sizeable universities where well under 30 staff earn over this amount, in a number of cases closer to 10 staff. There are enough such institutions for 바카라사이트 mid-table position to be only around 26 staff on over ?100K. Since some of 바카라사이트 universities concerned employ over 3000 people, 바카라사이트ir chance of earning ?100K (which, for older readers, let's remember is only about ?50K in early 2000s prices) look as little as 0.5% in some universities - ie basically a handful of senior managers, no mere professors. Given that in 바카라사이트 UK economy as a whole, around 4% of workers are now paid ?100K, 바카라사이트 Taxpayers' Alliance's own figures show that most universities are far less likely than o바카라사이트r sectors to overpay 바카라사이트ir staff - despite universities employing some of 바카라사이트 highest qualified people in 바카라사이트 country, many on less than half of 바카라사이트 ?100K focused on here.
