Southampton v-c¡¯s pay rises to ?433K

Sir Christopher Snowden, 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Southampton, has emerged as one of 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s most highly paid higher education leaders, on a pay package totalling ?433,000.

Sir Christopher¡¯s pay and pension contributions for 2016-17 emerged in a financial report published by 바카라사이트 university, and compare to 바카라사이트 ?352,000 he was?paid 바카라사이트 previous year for 바카라사이트 10 months that he was employed.

Last month, 바카라사이트 institution came under fire for posting an?advertisement for a campus chauffeur?just days after it announced plans to?cut up to 75 academic jobs.

Meanwhile, universities minister Jo Johnson?cited 바카라사이트 ?352,000 pay package?of Sir Christopher in June as a prime example of 바카라사이트 ¡°sharp increase¡± in executive pay, saying that Southampton¡¯s head was paid just ?227,000 in 2009-10.

Dame Glynis Breakwell, 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Bath and 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s highest-paid university leader, this week?announced that she would step down?at 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 academic year, after months of controversy over her salary. She is on a remuneration package worth ?468,000.

In 온라인 바카라¡¯s latest survey of vice-chancellors¡¯ pay, based on 2015-16 data, Sir Andrew Likierman, former dean of London Business School, was 바카라사이트 only o바카라사이트r institutional leader who earned more than ?433,000, with a pay package worth ?445,000.

Sally Hunt, 바카라사이트 University and College Union general secretary, said that 바카라사이트 details of Sir Christopher¡¯s salary ¡°demonstrates just how out of touch university vice-chancellors can be¡±.

¡°Professor Snowden was already one of 바카라사이트 best-paid vice-chancellors in 바카라사이트 UK, on a salary that had been publicly questioned by 바카라사이트 universities minister,¡± she said. ¡°To accept this kind of pay rise while saying he must axe 75 academic jobs because money is tight beggars belief. As does 바카라사이트 fact that he has also recently advertised for an executive chauffeur.¡±

A spokesman at 바카라사이트 University of Southampton said that Sir Christopher was ¡°awarded a salary increment of 1.1 per cent in line with 바카라사이트 higher education national pay award¡±.

¡°This was 바카라사이트 only increase in his remuneration since his appointment and he has declined a similar increment for 2017-18. The lower salary figure published for 2015-16 reflected only 10 months of his first year spent in office,¡± he said.

Gill Rider, chair of 바카라사이트 university council, added that Sir Christopher¡¯s pay package ¡°reflects his experience¡±.

¡°World-class capable leaders?are needed to ensure that 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s universities become one of 바카라사이트 stars in 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s post-Brexit export strategy,¡± she said.
