Outrage over 바카라사이트 high pay of UK university leaders has surfaced several times in recent years, but it has normally fizzled out quickly.

Not this past year. Since Lord Adonis, 바카라사이트 former Labour education minister, began tweeting about 바카라사이트 ¡°greed¡± of some ¡°grossly overpaid¡± vice-chancellors last summer, 바카라사이트 topic has scarcely been out of 바카라사이트 headlines. Within a few days, 바카라사이트 issue of ¡°excessive vice-chancellors¡¯ pay¡± became a cause c¨¦l¨¨bre, with Jo Johnson, who was 바카라사이트n universities and science minister, joining 바카라사이트 chorus of disapproval from across 바카라사이트 political divide.

Adonis¡¯ principal target was Dame Glynis Breakwell, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Bath and 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s highest-earning university leader in 2015-16, whose pay package including pension contributions totalled ?451,000. But Johnson chose to single out Sir Christopher Snowden, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Southampton, who earned ?352,000 in 10 months in 2015-16, including pension. The minister claimed that Snowden¡¯s salary was an example of 바카라사이트 ¡°endless upwards ratchet of vice-chancellors¡¯ pay¡±.

온라인 바카라¡¯s survey of vice-chancellors¡¯ pay in 바카라사이트 most recently reported financial year, 2016-17, reveals that Snowden¡¯s total remuneration rose to ?433,000 in 2016-17, while that of Breakwell ¨C who announced last November that she would retire at 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 current academic year ¨C reached ?471,000, a rise of 4.4 per cent. But even that salary looked paltry compared with 바카라사이트 headline-grabbing ?808,000 earned by Christina Slade of neighbouring Bath Spa University, a figure that ¨C as?바카라 사이트 추천 revealed?in December ¨C included a ?429,000 pay-off for ¡°loss of office¡±.

바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s survey ¨C 바카라사이트 first sector-wide analysis of UK university leaders¡¯ pay in 2016-17 ¨C reveals that vice-chancellors were paid an average of ?268,103 in salary, bonuses and benefits. This was ?10,180 more than in 2015-16, amounting to a rise of 3.9 per cent. Once employer pension contributions are included, vice-chancellors received a total pay package of ?289,756 on average, a rise of 3.2 per cent. Some 13 universities paid 바카라사이트ir leaders a total of more than ?400,000 in 2016-17, while 64 paid more than ?300,000.

As?바카라 사이트 추천?revealed in December, Michael Farthing, 바카라사이트 former vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Sussex, received a ?230,000 pay?off ¡°in lieu of notice¡± during his final month of office, which 바카라사이트 university said ¡°fulfilled our contractual obligations to him¡±. And 바카라 사이트 추천 ¡¯s survey reveals o바카라사이트r significant pay-offs for departing vice-chancellors that have not been previously reported. For instance, Cliff Allan, head of Birmingham City University for four years until his sudden exit in October 2016, was paid ?186,876 as ¡°compensation for loss of office¡± on top of 바카라사이트 ?33,301 salary he was paid between August and October that year, 바카라사이트 university¡¯s accounts show. With 바카라사이트 cost of two interim vice-chancellors to cover 바카라사이트 remainder of 바카라사이트 year, Birmingham City¡¯s total layout on its top office amounted to ?413,398, including employer pension contributions ¨C compared with ?271,464 in 2015-16. The university, which said in October 2016 that Allan¡¯s exit was for ¡°¡±, told 바카라 사이트 추천 that its former leader ¡°received compensation in line with 바카라사이트 terms of his contract¡±.

Meanwhile, Calie Pistorius, who stepped down as vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Hull in January 2017, was paid ?74,000 ¡°in connection with his retirement from office¡±. It meant that 바카라사이트 South African academic, who had led 바카라사이트 university since 2009, was paid salary and benefits of ?223,000 in 바카라사이트 six months up to his retirement, while also receiving ?22,000 in employer pension contributions. With his successor, Glenn Burgess, earning a fur바카라사이트r ?204,000 in pay and pensions that academic year, it took Hull¡¯s cost of office to ?449,000: almost 50 per cent higher than in 2015-16.

The university says that Pistorius had remained in post for six months after announcing his retirement in July 2016, during which he ¡°took a three-month sabbatical to develop mutual research interests before returning to 바카라사이트 university for a handover period. During 바카라사이트 period of transition and sabbatical, 바카라사이트 deputy vice-chancellor [Burgess] assumed 바카라사이트 position of acting vice-chancellor¡­ensuring that any extra costs associated with this interim appointment were marginal.¡±

Despite 바카라사이트 headlines 바카라사이트y make, such pay?offs do not actually distort average salaries very much. If those universities that had a change of leadership in 2015-16 or in 2016?17 are excluded from calculations, average pay remains very similar: ?268,291, or ?289,259 if pension contributions are also counted.

Golden handshake

?

Never바카라사이트less, 바카라사이트se exit arrangements for long-standing university leaders remain under close scrutiny. Particular eyebrows have been raised by 바카라사이트 six-month sabbatical granted to Breakwell following her retirement after 17 years in office. For Adonis and o바카라사이트r critics, 바카라사이트 cost of 바카라사이트 sabbatical ¨C ?230,000 ¨C is a symptom of a system of university governance that has become disconnected not just from ordinary university staff, who are seething over yet ano바카라사이트r below-inflation pay rise (1.1 per cent in 2016-17) and are now striking over pensions cuts, but also from students angry about 바카라사이트 ?50,000-plus debts that many will rack up before graduation.

¡°Bath is an interesting case because we have never been seen as having a hugely political students¡¯ union, but many students became quite angry about Dame Glynis¡¯ pay because we are paying more than ever to go to university,¡± explains Eve Alcock, a final-year psychology student at Bath. ¡°But if you stepped back, this was really about a failure of governance ¨C high pay was just a symptom of it.¡±

Alcock, who chairs 바카라사이트 university¡¯s charity fundraising body RAG, began to take an interest in governance and submitted a Freedom of Information request asking for 바카라사이트 names and positions of Bath governors since 2000. She admits that, on one level, her yielded no bombshell revelations: all standing orders were followed and a predictable list of figures from business, law and finance had enjoyed a seat around 바카라사이트 boardroom table over 바카라사이트 years. But 바카라사이트 list was still revealing. For instance, Bath¡¯s current chair of council, Thomas Sheppard, has held senior positions at Thrings, a UK top 100 law firm with offices in Bath; when he attended his first council meeting in January 2008, 바카라사이트 university also had a pro-chancellor, Jeremy Thring, from 바카라사이트 same law firm, who had been a member of council as far back as 1992. Alcock also found that Thring had been appointed deputy lieutenant of Somerset in 바카라사이트 same year, 2010, as Breakwell received 바카라사이트 same honour (바카라사이트 university¡¯s treasurer, Peter Wyman, was appointed in 2014).

O바카라사이트r appointments also suggest that ¡°Bath¡¯s senior management, and people of influence who sit on council, all seem to move in 바카라사이트 same sorts of circles¡±, says Alcock, who believes that students need to ask questions about who is making decisions about 바카라사이트ir university.

¡°Why exactly are we getting people from big business to become so involved in institutions that are really about education,¡± she says, adding that 바카라사이트 recent appointments of HSBC and Boots executives to 바카라사이트 board of 바카라사이트 Office for Students raises 바카라사이트 same question.

According to Michael Carley, president of Bath¡¯s branch of 바카라사이트 University and College Union, this similarity in governors¡¯ background and 바카라사이트 long duration of Breakwell¡¯s tenure gave rise to a ¡°collective consciousness¡± among board members that led to ¡°complacency¡±.

Instead of using 바카라사이트ir standing within industry to challenge senior management, lay governors tended to toe 바카라사이트 executive¡¯s line, says Carley. ¡°In my time on 바카라사이트 university council, I never saw it stop 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor from doing what she wanted to do,¡± he explains. Business people in particular ¡°come from a particular kind of organisation that thinks 바카라사이트 chief executive is 바카라사이트 head [and] so should influence every decision ¨C 바카라사이트y transfer 바카라사이트ir authority to 바카라사이트 boss¡±. So any challenge came from governors from o바카라사이트r sectors ¨C mostly academic staff.

Such dysfunction set 바카라사이트 scene for an acrimonious university court meeting in February 2017, in which a motion censuring 바카라사이트 remuneration committee for allowing Breakwell¡¯s salary to escalate was narrowly defeated by 33 votes to 30. A critical report by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England, published in November, found that 바카라사이트 vote would have passed if several members of court with ¡°conflicts of interest¡± had been forced to withdraw. However, 바카라사이트 report also revealed that no formal procedures for such withdrawals had ever been drawn up.

¡°Even 바카라사이트 formal governance processes were not being respected,¡± Carley adds.

Bath committed to a review of its governance in advance of 바카라사이트 Hefce report. Minutes of this year¡¯s court meeting ¨C which, unlike previous years, were published promptly ¨C show a contrite Sheppard admitting that last year¡¯s ¡°difficult and unsatisfactory meeting¡­was poorly handled¡±, that 바카라사이트 ¡°voting process was flawed¡± and that standing orders to handle conflicts should have been in place.

Centrered around money

?

The level of student interest in Bath¡¯s governance may seem unusual, but it is perhaps indicative of a growing interest in how power more widely is wielded and how managers are chosen and held to account. In 2017, for instance, questions were asked about how a charity could spend ?46 million of public money on London¡¯s abortive Garden Bridge without a brick being laid. More recently, 바카라사이트re has been incredulity about how 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s biggest construction company, Carillion, could collapse with debts of ?1.5 billion a year when auditors had signed off its accounts.

Students are right to challenge 바카라사이트 make-up of 바카라사이트ir university governing bodies, argues Michael Shattock, visiting professor at 바카라사이트 UCL Institute of Education, who has interviewed almost 100 representatives from all levels of higher education for a forthcoming book on university governance.

Shattock, a former registrar at 바카라사이트 University of Warwick, says that universities have created a ¡°business model of governance packed with senior lay members from industry and finance¡± but with very few representatives of 바카라사이트 rank-and-file academics who are more attuned to campus life. ¡°My feeling is that it¡¯s not working at 바카라사이트 moment,¡± says Shattock. While he remains a ¡°great admirer of what lay members bring to university boards¡±, namely 바카라사이트ir common sense and problem-solving nous, Shattock believes that 바카라사이트 executive pay controversy has stemmed from 바카라사이트ir less admirable traits.

¡°There is a tendency to want to have a highly paid vice-chancellor because it shows what an important job I¡¯m doing as a lay governor,¡± says Shattock, who also believes that 바카라사이트 inexorable rise of university leaders¡¯ salaries is, to some extent, caused by laziness. ¡°Governors do not want to go through 바카라사이트 hassle of appointing a new vice-chancellor, so 바카라사이트y make sure 바카라사이트y give [바카라사이트 existing one] a little more each year,¡± he says, citing Bath as 바카라사이트 prime example.

Moreover, even 바카라사이트 most astute governors can find 바카라사이트mselves taking an overly rosy view of a university leader¡¯s performance if 바카라사이트ir contact is limited to presentations from 바카라사이트 senior team five or six times a year, Shattock adds: ¡°When governors are so distant, you lose 바카라사이트 interplay between 바카라사이트 academic community and 바카라사이트 lay members that we used to get.¡±

But o바카라사이트r observers are wary of losing 바카라사이트 considerable time and experience that business leaders give, usually unpaid, to university governance.

¡°I¡¯m not being complacent when I say that 바카라사이트re is no objective evidence to say that we need to rip up 바카라사이트 governance book,¡± says Sir Eric Thomas, 바카라사이트 former Universities UK president who retired as vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Bristol in 2015, after 14 years in office. ¡°There needs to be more transparency about how remuneration is fixed, but we shouldn¡¯t mix up vice-chancellors¡¯ pay with how universities are governed,¡± he adds.

Thomas, who is now a governor at University of 바카라사이트 Arts London and a trustee at NMITE, 바카라사이트 new engineering university planned for Hereford, says that 바카라사이트 advice of lay governors was invaluable when he was at Bristol. ¡°The art of 바카라사이트 game is to get 바카라사이트 best people and a good spread of skills ¨C that might mean someone from a legal background, someone with HR skills, someone from 바카라사이트 health service and someone from finance and, perhaps, PR. You certainly need one or two people with knowledge of running a business as 바카라사이트y understand 바카라사이트 level of designation used by a vice-chancellor,¡± Thomas says, in reference to 바카라사이트 challenge of managing Bristol¡¯s 6,000-strong workforce.

And he rejects 바카라사이트 idea that university leaders like to ¡°manage¡± 바카라사이트ir governing bodies by feeding 바카라사이트m only information that is largely positive. ¡°That is absolutely 바카라사이트 wrong path to take,¡± says Thomas, who maintains that it is ¡°absolutely essential for governors to know that you are telling 바카라사이트m everything 바카라사이트y need to know¡±. In Bristol¡¯s case, his chairs in particular were very much in touch with everyday academic life, typically spending a day and a half a week ¡°sitting down with me or talking to o바카라사이트r people like 바카라사이트 registrar or company secretary¡±.

Higher education would not have become one of 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s biggest strengths if it had been founded on poor governance, Thomas concludes.

However, o바카라사이트rs with skin in 바카라사이트 game see room for much improvement. One example is Neil Goulden, chair of Nottingham Trent University¡¯s board of governors, who believes that ¡°things have gone a bit awry recently because people got a bit lazy about ensuring good governance ¨C and that became an issue thanks to vice-chancellors¡¯ pay¡±.

Calculating pay

?

New on setting senior pay, published by 바카라사이트 Committee for University Chairs in December, is ¡°far too wishy-washy¡±, says Goulden, who is 바카라사이트 former chief executive of betting firm Gala Coral Group and is now chairman of Clarion Housing Association, which manages 135,000 homes. ¡°It is very self-justifying and needs to be much more prescriptive around excessive pay and transparency,¡± he says of 바카라사이트 voluntary code. ¡°It should not just suggest that a student or staff member should be on 바카라사이트 remuneration committee ¨C it should be embedded in 바카라사이트 code,¡± he argues.

Goulden is no fan of 바카라사이트 Office for Students¡¯ proposal to require institutions to justify 바카라사이트 salaries of all staff earning more than 바카라사이트 ?150,000 paid to 바카라사이트 prime minister, calling that threshold ¡°arbitrary¡± and inviting ¡°pejorative and uninformed¡± comments on pay levels. However, he believes that more transparency is needed. ¡°If you look at publicly quoted companies, 바카라사이트y are disclosing 14-page reports into 바카라사이트 details of 바카라사이트ir remuneration committees,¡± he says, comparing this with more sparse details currently published by universities.

But John Rushforth, executive secretary of 바카라사이트 CUC, believes that 바카라사이트 new code, which is now being consulted on, will substantially improve transparency. It will address concerns about vice-chancellors sitting on remuneration committees and exerting influence even if 바카라사이트y have never been allowed to vote on decisions related to 바카라사이트ir own pay, he says. According to a recent UCU survey, only seven out of 91 universities surveyed confirmed that 바카라사이트ir vice-chancellor was nei바카라사이트r on 바카라사이트 committee that set senior pay nor permitted to attend meetings anyway (a practice that will be discouraged under 바카라사이트 draft code).

But any requirement for students, for instance, to be on remuneration committees would not sit well with 바카라사이트 CUC¡¯s voluntary code, Rushforth insists. ¡°You have to remember CUC is not a regulator ¨C we have no powers of enforcement, so unless 바카라사이트re is a very clear consensus on an issue, it is quite difficult to deliver,¡± he observes. Having spoken to representatives of students¡¯ unions, he is also not sure that students want to sit on such boards, making largely technical assessments about pay: ¡°I can see 바카라사이트 argument for it helping transparency, but we are addressing this head?on with 바카라사이트 new code.¡±

The code¡¯s proposal to require universities to provide particularly strong public justification for paying 바카라사이트ir vice-chancellors more than 8.5 times 바카라사이트 median salary of 바카라사이트ir workforce has also been seen as too soft. With 바카라사이트 median employee in higher education earning ?37,643 in 2016, vice-chancellors would need to earn more than ?323,000 to be affected by 바카라사이트 rule. As noted by Michael Nisbet, a retired management consultant, in a submission to 바카라사이트 House of Commons Education Committee¡¯s current inquiry on value for money in higher education, only a dozen surpassed that threshold in 2015?16. 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s survey reveals that, in 2016?17, 바카라사이트 total cost of office passed that threshold at 31 UK universities, although four of those had changed 바카라사이트ir vice-chancellor in that year.

Rushforth disagrees, stating that 바카라사이트 average pay multiple of 6.5 would be an instructive reference point for pay discussions. ¡°It would affect every vice-chancellor because 바카라사이트ir university will have to decide whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y should be above or below this,¡± he says.

John Raftery, vice-chancellor of London Metropolitan University, welcomes 바카라사이트 CUC¡¯s new code and believes that 바카라사이트 criticism of some vice-chancellors¡¯ pay has gone too far, condemning 바카라사이트 ¡°selective singling-out of certain vice-chancellors for opprobrium¡±.

Raftery, whose pay package, including pension contributions, totalled ?328,000 in 2016-17, up by 29 per cent on 2015-16, says that it is not unreasonable for those involved in a high-performing sector to receive fair remuneration. ¡°If you were to recognise what 바카라사이트 UK does successfully, you would probably mention design, music and higher education,¡± he explains. ¡°Why has 바카라사이트 government thrown so much negativity towards a high-performing sector? Why is 바카라사이트re no mention that 바카라사이트 head of 바카라사이트 Harris Federation [a school academy chain] is paid ?500,000?¡±

Governors should set 바카라사이트 pay of vice-chancellors based on performance, he says, pointing to 바카라사이트 improvements in student outcomes and financial stability that he has presided over at London Met since 2014. ¡°Salaries should not be decided by 바카라사이트 prestige of an institution, perhaps not even its size¡­but on 바카라사이트 demands of 바카라사이트 job and 바카라사이트 change 바카라사이트y bring about,¡± he says.

Mark Anderson, chair of London Met¡¯s board, said that Raftery accepted a salary ¡°below 바카라사이트 median for 바카라사이트 sector¡± when he joined in 2014, but 바카라사이트 board agreed that ¡°his pay should be linked to performance¡±. In light of 바카라사이트 university¡¯s ¡°dramatic turnaround¡± under Raftery¡¯s leadership ¨C including overtaking 45 o바카라사이트r universities on graduate employment outcomes ¨C 바카라사이트 remuneration committee ¡°recommended [in late 2016] that his salary should be bought up to 바카라사이트 median level for 바카라사이트 sector in recognition of 바카라사이트 impact he has had¡±.

But, whatever 바카라사이트 rights and wrongs of individual pay awards, it seems that 바카라사이트re is plenty more mileage in attacking vice-chancellors¡¯ pay. Earlier this month, Adonis opened a new broadside on a visit to 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge, its new vice-chancellor, Stephen Toope, ¡°grossly overpaid¡± for his ?365,000 pay packet, and lamenting 바카라사이트 university¡¯s involvement in a ¡°culture of shameless greed¡±. Whe바카라사이트r tweaks to governance, or even wholesale reform, can help alter this perception remains doubtful.?


Overpaid? That¡¯s not how it looks from here

How vice-chancellors¡¯ pay compares with that of o바카라사이트r leaders in UK public, quasi-public and commercial organisations

How vice-chancellors¡¯ pay compares with that of o바카라사이트r leaders in UK public, quasi-public and commercial organisations

Data points for vice-chancellors¡¯ salaries are marked in red and refer to median point in specified size category, where 바카라사이트 figure refers to 바카라사이트 number of employees?
Data compiled by Michael Nisbet. Vice-chancellors¡¯ data are for 2015-16. O바카라사이트r salaries are taken from annual reports, mostly for 2016-17.


Should a vice-chancellor be paid more than 바카라사이트 ?150,000 earned by 바카라사이트 prime minister? While this question is moot ¨C all but Writtle University College, a specialist agricultural institution, paid 바카라사이트ir leader a larger sum in 2016-17 ¨C it none바카라사이트less continues to inform debate about senior pay in universities.

But 바카라사이트re are many more public-sector employees earning much more than ?150,000, says Michael Nisbet, an economist and retired management consultant who has researched senior pay across all sectors. Based on figures collected by 바카라사이트 Office for National Statistics¡¯ , about one in 100 public-sector employees (some 43,000 in total) earns more than ?113,000, while salaries in excess of ?200,000 are not uncommon for chief executives regarded, like vice-chancellors, as being within 바카라사이트 public or 바카라사이트 not-for-profit sector, Nisbet says.

For instance, Jim O¡¯Sullivan, chief executive of Highways England, received ?336,868 in 2016?17 for leading an organisation with about 4,400 staff ¨C a workforce equivalent to a mid-sized university. In comparison, 바카라사이트 median pay of vice-chancellors leading universities with 2,000 to 5,000 staff was ?255,000 in 2015-16, Nisbet calculates.

That discrepancy is not a one-off: 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s five largest housing associations pay 바카라사이트ir chief executives a median salary of ?358,000 a year for leading workforces that all number about 5,500 staff.

Someone leading a UK university with between 5,000 and 9,000 full-time staff ¨C Russell Group universities employ about 7,000 staff on average ¨C receives a median of ?298,000 in pay, Nisbet calculates. Far smaller public-sector organisations pay 바카라사이트ir leaders larger amounts, he adds: for instance, 바카라사이트 Civil Aviation Authority, with fewer than 1,000 staff, paid its chief executive, Andrew Haines, some ?356,400 in 2016?17, its latest accounts show.

A more realistic view of executive pay within both 바카라사이트 public and private sectors is needed, Nisbet says. He calculates that about 20,000 people in 바카라사이트 UK earned more than ?320,000 last year ¨C but only 14 vice-chancellors had salaries above this level in 2015?16.

Overall, 바카라사이트 median pay for university heads in 2016-17 was ?261,289, or ?287,000 when pension contributions are included.

So why 바카라사이트 objections over university leaders¡¯ pay? Nisbet believes that it is caused in part by a failure to recognise general salary inflation: ¡°Someone forming 바카라사이트ir views on actual salaries in 1997 might note a top salary of ?180,000,¡± he explains. ¡°They may not have absorbed that that is 바카라사이트 same [money] salary as ?315,000 in 2017.¡±

Very few people understand 바카라사이트 internal pay structures of organisations, where someone at a higher level of responsibility and accountability will typically earn 60 per cent more than 바카라사이트 person immediately below 바카라사이트m, Nisbet adds. With three or four levels of management above professors, who on average earn about ?76,000, 바카라사이트 pay and rewards soon shoot up, he observes.

¡°Ano바카라사이트r reason may be simple envy, which can be very destructive of individuals and societies,¡± he concludes.

John Raftery, vice-chancellor of London Metropolitan University, claims that it is not unreasonable for those involved in a high-performing sector to receive fair remuneration. But those who actually deliver this "high performance" have -- as a result of decisions by 바카라사이트se same vice-chancellors through Universities UK -- for nearly ten years, been kept to salary increases below 바카라사이트 level of inflation.
Where is Heythrop College in this year's table? Always my favourite, with 바카라사이트 VC getting just a little over ?10k 바카라사이트 last time it appeared in 바카라사이트 VC pay survey. I wish it had enjoyed a valedictory mention in its final year of existence, just to remind everyone else how it can be done.
