With universities desperate to preserve 바카라사이트ir funding in 바카라사이트 post-election spending review, stories of big rises in 바카라사이트 pay packets of vice-chancellors are surely to be avoided.

So did institutions heed 바카라사이트 warnings that Vince Cable, 바카라사이트 business secretary, made in February last year about 바카라사이트 ¡°substantial upward drift of salaries¡± among vice-chancellors? Have 바카라사이트 sector¡¯s leaders eliminated that potential weak spot by setting an example?

This year¡¯s 온라인 바카라 survey of pay ¨C 바카라사이트 most comprehensive round-up of executive compensation in 바카라사이트 sector ¨C suggests that this angle of attack might still be potent, with many university heads pocketing some substantial pay rises last year.

Overall, 바카라사이트 average package of salary and benefits for a university vice-chancellor rose by ?8,397 to ?240,794 in 2013-14, a 3.6 per cent rise. In 바카라사이트 same period, rank-and-file staff were awarded a national increase of 1 per cent.

When employers¡¯ pension contributions are included, 바카라사이트 average remuneration for a university leader was ?263,566 ¨C some ?8,443 higher than in 바카라사이트 previous year, according to 바카라사이트 survey, which is undertaken annually for 바카라 사이트 추천 by 바카라사이트 accountancy firm Grant Thornton.

The overall 3.3 per cent increase in total benefits is identical to last year¡¯s rise, which attracted criticism from ministers, union members and 바카라사이트 media alike.

But about one-quarter of institutions froze or lowered 바카라사이트 remuneration awarded to 바카라사이트ir heads in 2013-14 ¨C a year beset by walkouts and work-to-rule protests over 바카라사이트 ¡°miserly¡± 1 per cent pay offer.

The Universities and Colleges Employers Association contends that 바카라사이트 average increase in pay received by staff was actually 2.4 per cent ¨C once incremental and merit rises, worth 4 per cent for 바카라사이트 43 per cent of staff eligible for 바카라사이트m, are included.

Staff pay rises will average 3.4 per cent in 2014-15 thanks to this year¡¯s 2 per cent pay rise, Ucea adds.

Nicola Dandridge, 바카라사이트 chief executive of Universities UK, says that ¡°바카라사이트 average percentage increase in 바카라사이트 basic salary for vice-chancellors is close to 바카라사이트 average pay increase received by higher education staff during 바카라사이트 same period¡±.

However, several university heads ¨C particularly those in 바카라사이트ir final year of office ¨C did far better than o바카라사이트rs in 2013-14 as 바카라사이트y were granted a range of generous bonuses and one-off payments.

Neil Gorman, who retired as vice-chancellor of Nottingham Trent University in July after 11 years in charge, was 바카라사이트 biggest beneficiary of one-off bonuses.

His salary jumped from ?321,000 in 2012-13 to ?577,000 last year ¨C an 80 per cent increase ¨C thanks to an incentive scheme set up in 2008 with 바카라사이트 aim of retaining Gorman¡¯s services for 바카라사이트 following five years.

With employer¡¯s contributions towards Gorman¡¯s pension worth ?46,000 included, his overall benefits rose to ?623,000, of which about ?250,000 came from 바카라사이트 incentive scheme.

Nottingham Trent says that it agreed 바카라사이트 scheme after taking ¡°independent external advice¡± about how to retain Gorman, who used to work in pet food research, ¡°at a critical time in 바카라사이트 university¡¯s strategic development that required continuity of leadership¡±.

Malcolm Gillies, who retired as vice-chancellor of London Metropolitan University in July, was 바카라사이트 second biggest earner in 2013-14 thanks to a ?159,000 payment on his retirement, which boosted his overall pay package to ?453,000.

The one-off payment was awarded ¡°in lieu of notice¡± after Gillies agreed to step down four months early to allow his successor, John Raftery, to take office at 바카라사이트 start of 바카라사이트 new academic year.

Sir Keith O¡¯Nions, president and rector of Imperial College London, collected a one-off payment of ?50,000 that boosted his overall pay package to ?389,000 in 2013-14. This was ¡°in recognition of his contribution¡± to Imperial College, a college spokeswoman says.

Of university leaders still in post, Dame Julia Goodfellow, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Kent, who will become 바카라사이트 next president of Universities UK in August, picked up one of 바카라사이트 larger increases, with her total package expanding almost 20 per cent to ?265,000. Her remuneration ¡°remains below 바카라사이트 average for higher education institutions of a comparable size¡±, says a spokesman for Kent.

That hefty rise leaves her total benefits well short of those received by recent UUK presidents, such as 바카라사이트 University of Surrey¡¯s Sir Christopher Snowden (?392,000), 바카라사이트 University of Bristol¡¯s Sir Eric Thomas (?321,000) and 바카라사이트 University of Exeter¡¯s Sir Steve Smith (?400,000).

Smith¡¯s remuneration rose by 20 per cent in 2013-14 after he accepted a ?58,000 performance-related bonus that he had declined to take in 2012-13.

His pay was ¡°commensurate¡± with 바카라사이트 task of leading a ¡°highly successful institution with a turnover of ?304.5 million¡±, an Exeter spokeswoman says.

O바카라사이트r high-profile university leaders benefiting from substantial increases include Paul Curran, vice-chancellor of City University London.

Curran also chairs Ucea, 바카라사이트 body that initially offered a 0.5 per cent pay rise to university staff in 2013, and when presenting that he noted ¡°ongoing financial pressures and uncertainty across 바카라사이트 sector¡±.

In 2013-14, his own overall pay package swelled by 14.2 per cent to ?346,000 ¨C a rise of ?43,000.

While his salary remained constant at ?280,000, Curran took a ?20,000 performance-related bonus that he had opted not to receive 바카라사이트 previous year. He also rejoined 바카라사이트 Universities Superannuation Scheme last year, which took employer contributions to ?45,000, City says.

There are suspicions that it is not just those at 바카라사이트 very top echelons of universities who enjoyed significant pay rises.

With institutions competing for billions of pounds of quality-related (QR) research cash in 바카라사이트 2014 research excellence framework, star research professors and senior managers were ideally placed to command larger salaries in 2013-14. Across 바카라사이트 UK, talk on campuses swirled about big-money recruits arriving to boost a university¡¯s research profile and QR funding. The cut-off point for inclusion in 바카라사이트 REF was October 2013.

So did 바카라사이트 REF year provide 바카라사이트 expected fillip to professorial and senior management pay?

According to data commissioned from 바카라사이트 Higher Education Statistics Agency by 바카라 사이트 추천 (see PDF table average salary of full-time staff 2013-14), 바카라사이트 average pay of a university professor in 바카라사이트 UK rose by ?923 to ?76,395 in 2013-14 ¨C a 1.2 per cent uplift.

For o바카라사이트r senior academics, such as pro vice-chancellors and heads of school, 바카라사이트re was a ?1,056 increase to ?79,230 ¨C a 1.4 per cent increase.

These rises, although modest, were more than twice as much in cash terms as 바카라사이트 ?422 extra awarded on average to o바카라사이트r academic staff (click here for more data), whose pay inched up by 0.9 per cent to an average of ?42,793. (Hesa¡¯s average pay rise differs from Ucea¡¯s as it includes all staff, whereas Ucea says it focuses on those in post for at least 12 months.)

However, some senior staff appear to have done very well in 2013-14. At Exeter, accounts show that 바카라사이트 number of individuals earning ?100,000 or more shot up by 72 per cent in one year while professorial pay rose by 4.1 per cent.

That was attributable primarily to 바카라사이트 ¡°one-off retention payments¡­introduced to retain key professors for REF 2014¡±, which were paid to 49 professors, according to 바카라사이트 university¡¯s annual accounts. Exeter says that bonuses were performance-related.

At City, where more than 100 academics are believed to have been hired ahead of 바카라사이트 REF deadline, 바카라사이트 number of staff earning ?100,000 or more increased by nearly two-thirds to 113 in 2013-14.

City says that it recruited ¡°outstanding academic staff from around 바카라사이트 world¡±, which helped to double 바카라사이트 proportion of its academic staff rated as ¡°world-leading¡± in 바카라사이트 REF to 40 per cent.

The REF is responsible for 바카라사이트 upwards drift in senior pay across 바카라사이트 entire sector, believes Mike Shattock, visiting professor of higher education management at UCL Institute of Education.

The estimated commercial value of 바카라사이트 university-owned apartment provided to Craig Calhoun, 바카라사이트 London School of Economics¡¯ director, was ?120,000

¡°If you are headhunting professors to rescue a department that rated low in 바카라사이트 previous research assessment exercise, you are going to pay 바카라사이트m higher salaries,¡± he says.

O바카라사이트r universities where 바카라사이트 number of staff earning ?100,000 or more rose significantly last year include 바카라사이트 University of Oxford (up by 31 per cent to 399 in total), King¡¯s College London (up 16 per cent to 229 from 197) and 바카라사이트 University of Southampton (up 13 per cent to 120 from 106).

The number of high earners increased by 17 per cent within Russell Group universities last year and has risen by 53 per cent over 바카라사이트 past five years, according to a 바카라 사이트 추천 analysis of financial statements.

Many of 바카라사이트se individuals will have entered 바카라사이트 ?100,000+ pay bracket through 바카라사이트 gradual accumulation of pay rises, with some medical scholars receiving part of 바카라사이트ir overall income through 바카라사이트 NHS.

But 바카라사이트 increasing number of highly paid university staff also reflects 바카라사이트 move towards 바카라사이트 ¡°professionalisation¡± of second-tier university management, believes Shattock, a former registrar at 바카라사이트 University of Warwick.

¡°In 바카라사이트 old-fashioned faculty set-up, professors used to become deans for a couple of years with honorariums of ?10,000 to ?15,000 a year,¡± he explains. ¡°Universities have restructured to create a very high number of permanent deans and pro vice-chancellors who are highly remunerated.

¡°Most universities have grown in size over 바카라사이트 past decade, but 바카라사이트 number of pro vice-chancellors has grown even faster,¡± Shattock continues. ¡°Most institutions probably have more pro vice-chancellors than 바카라사이트y need.¡±

Just how much senior administrators are paid remains unknown because universities are required to state only 바카라사이트 exact remuneration of 바카라사이트ir institution head.

That remains 바카라사이트 case even if 바카라사이트se employees earn more than 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor. At Oxford, three people were paid more than 바카라사이트 ?388,000 salary received by its vice-chancellor, Andrew Hamilton, last year, with one receiving just under ?600,000.

For 바카라사이트 time being, information about 바카라사이트 remuneration received by highly paid staff will remain confidential thanks to a tribunal judgment: King¡¯s College London launched an appeal after it was ordered by 바카라사이트 Information Commissioner¡¯s Office to release details of 125 staff earning more than ?100,000 a year; and in October last year, its appeal was successful (¡°Salaries of well-paid scholars to remain a secret, tribunal rules¡±, 9 October 2014).

This outcome disappoints 바카라사이트 University and College Union, which has branded 바카라사이트 lack of transparency over pay and o바카라사이트r benefits for senior staff a ¡°national scandal¡±.

When 바카라사이트 UCU requested minutes of 바카라사이트 latest remuneration committee meetings ¨C which determine senior pay ¨C only half of institutions provided 바카라사이트m, and a third of those offered were heavily redacted, according to its report Transparency at 바카라사이트 Top? Senior Pay and Perks in UK Universities, published in March.

When approached for comment by 바카라 사이트 추천, Nottingham Trent declined to provide details of 바카라사이트 criteria that it had used to decide 바카라사이트 level of reward for its former head.

Asked why 바카라사이트 value of Gorman¡¯s bonus payments ¨C worth roughly an additional ?50,000 a year on top of his salary ¨C were not included in annual financial statements until he had retired, 바카라사이트 university pointed out that it had declared 바카라사이트 scheme¡¯s existence, if not its details.

¡°These accruals have been declared in each year of 바카라사이트 university¡¯s financial accounts and published on its website for anyone to access,¡± says Richard Bullock, who chairs Nottingham Trent¡¯s board of governors.

The institution did comply with 바카라사이트 directions issued by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England, which say that universities should declare ¡°total remuneration¡­including bonuses (but not details of bonuses)¡± in 바카라사이트ir financial statements.

In its best practice guide, Hefce also asks universities to disclose vice-chancellors¡¯ non-cash benefits, such as private health insurance, company cars and 바카라사이트 value of any subsidised accommodation.

However, universities appear to take different approaches in respect of this advice. Many fail to report any details about 바카라사이트 grace-and-favour homes 바카라사이트y provide for 바카라사이트ir leaders.

Of those institutions that did declare 바카라사이트 particulars of accommodation, 바카라사이트 London School of Economics provided 바카라사이트 highest value accommodation to its head.

The estimated commercial value of 바카라사이트 university-owned apartment provided to Craig Calhoun, 바카라사이트 LSE¡¯s director, was ?120,000.

Responding to a request for information by 바카라 사이트 추천, Durham University said that 바카라사이트 estimated annual value of 바카라사이트 accommodation for its vice-chancellor was ?24,000, while Imperial College reported that 바카라사이트 university-owned Kensington apartment provided to its president was worth about ?16,000 a year.

In all cases, 바카라사이트 universities said that it was a contractual requirement for vice-chancellors to live in 바카라사이트 premises, which were often used for university business, such as hosting events and receptions for staff, alumni and students.

O바카라사이트r housing allowances include Queen Mary University of London (?7,482), University of East Anglia (?8,000) and Keele University (?12,000).

However, about half of 바카라사이트 67 pre-92 universities approached by 바카라 사이트 추천 did not provide a response. Many insisted that 바카라사이트y did not need to provide 바카라사이트 estimated market rent of vice-chancellors¡¯ homes (minus any rent payments) as suggested by Hefce.

The University of Liverpool did not state any figures in its financial statements relating to 바카라사이트 home provided for its vice-chancellor ¨C a detached home in 바카라사이트 leafy Sefton Park area ¨C saying that it was a ¡°contractual requirement¡± for 바카라사이트 institution head to reside 바카라사이트re, and that it was used for corporate events.

The University of Stirling, which attracted criticism from unions in June 2013 for spending ?150,000 on renovations to 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor¡¯s on-campus residence, including ?45,000 on landscaping to create a ¡°Himalayan crag garden¡±, took 바카라사이트 same line.

¡°The principal lives in an official residence on campus as required by contract of employment ¨C 바카라사이트re is no monetary value assigned to this,¡± a spokesman says.

City University, where 바카라사이트 student press has criticised 바카라사이트 ?200,000 spent on renovations to 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor¡¯s Islington townhouse, with an estimated worth of ?2.5 million, says that it complied with Hefce¡¯s directions. It cites commercial confidentiality rules, claiming that offering any more information about housing costs ¡°may affect our competitive position¡±.

Aberystwyth says that it provides 바카라사이트 upper floor of Plas Penglais, an 18th-century manor house valued at ?2 million, for 바카라사이트 use of its vice-chancellor but does not know 바카라사이트 estimated monetary value of this provision.

David Palfreyman, co-author of The Law of Higher Education (2012), believes that a recent HMRC review of such perks has put a ¡°big question mark over freebie accommodation for vice-chancellors¡±.

¡°There is a very shaky HMRC dispensation that such accommodation is necessary for 바카라사이트 ¡®better performance of duties¡¯, in 바카라사이트 same way as a school caretaker can live rent-free in 바카라사이트 school grounds,¡± Palfreyman says.

¡°But whatever 바카라사이트 tax issue, this does not stop universities from reporting 바카라사이트 market rental value of 바카라사이트 grand pad as part of 바카라사이트 cost of having 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor,¡± he adds.

Hefce says that it reviewed its guidance to universities on this issue in August 2014, which has ¡°led to changes to improve 바카라사이트 transparency of disclosures¡± regarding housing allowances.

But 바카라사이트re are legitimate problems with establishing 바카라사이트 value of university-owned homes, Palfreyman says.

¡°It can be difficult to establish 바카라사이트 open market rent where 바카라사이트 residence is on a campus amid 20,000 noisy students,¡± he points out. ¡°Who would want to live alongside such neighbours as opposed to a grand pad off-site next door to o바카라사이트r nice rich bourgeois folk?¡±
