World University News: UK: Pay boost for university leaders

Many British vice-chancellors are paid as much if not more than the Prime Minister. But not, of course, as much as Premier League footballers – or failed bankers. Latest figures collated and audited by accountants Grant Thornton on behalf of Times Higher Education show the average university head earned £193,970 (US$282,000) (including benefits but not pension contributions) in 2007-08, a 9% increase on the previous year, and a steeper rise than in the previous two years. Gordon Brown was paid £194,250 last year for running the country.

Pay for midlevel administrative workers increased 3.5 percent this year, according to an annual report to be released this week by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources.

For the past two years, median raises for midlevel employees had outpaced inflation. In 2008, however, inflation jumped 3.8 percent, eating up the gains.

Top-level administrators fared slightly better, with median salary increases of 4 percent (The Chronicle, February 27).
