VCs get fat-cat pay, but are they worth it?
It’s never a good time for bosses to reveal massive pay rises for themselves. But the timing of this particular story takes the biscuit.
After grudgingly giving staff a pay rise of, on average around 5.7%, it turns out Vice-Chancellors last year received a pay increase of 9%. Oh dear.
Let’s chuck in the fact that many VCs recently recommended that tuition fees should double and general anger at fat-cat pay in the credit crunch and you soon have all the ingredients necessary to create a proverbial, PR shit storm.
The top ten Vice-Chancellors in the pay stakes are:
1. University of Nottingham: Sir Colin Campbell £585,000
2. Imperial College London: Richard Sykes/Sir Roy Anderson £429,000 between them
3. London Business School: Laura Tyson £364,000
4. University of the Arts London: Michael Bichard* £307,603
5. University College London: Malcolm Grant £295,621
6. University of Birmingham: Michael Sterling £292,000
=7. Thames Valley University: Peter John £291,000
=7. University of Manchester: Alan Gilbert £291,000
=9. University of Liverpool: Drummond Bone £285,000
=9. University of Surrey: Christopher Snowden £285,000
Nice work if you can get it.
I think this story does deserve a caveat though. These are big wages, but it’s hardly the easiest job in the world, and only a few are qualified to do it. I somehow doubt that this will stop the complaints, but maybe they deserve the money?

Very nice article I love your website keep up the good articles
very nicely stated. i share your sentiments exactly, although i am not in the public eye or a person of distinction like you. i have aged badly and at this point in my life i don’t give a shit if my tube top won’t fit around my thigh. i have earned every wrinkle, bag, sag and fold. i’ve had a hard living, body abusing, worth every forgotten day i have lived, life. full enuf to smile at some memories and cringe at others and hope to hell my friends don’t remind me what i did on certain occasions. i earned everything i have and i fully intend to enjoy my life and never feel guilty again about a cookie, nookie or any other fucking thing i decide to indulge in. i have learned other people are worth what is inside not the latest style-except that bra strap showing in spaghetti strap tops, can’t get used to that-and i know you know deep down the same thing but have a hard time grasping it with assholes writing how you are not in a brass bikini anymore. never apologize for being alive.

I have a blackberry now from Verizon which doesn’t allow me to dload the GPS (so I use my Garmin) but with the previous phone I had I used to use it and there is a way in settings under volume where there is a master volume setting where you can put it all the way to the top (usually factory set mid-high) and then on calls you can lower it a bit but the applications automatically start out at that highest volume – kind of like how you can adjust your TV volume with the TV remote to a certain level then work around it with the cable remote
