It's got to be coming to a head when it's got so excessive that even an MP can't stand to be associated with it...

An MP has quit his role at the University of Bath in protest over the vice-chancellor's "eye-watering" pay.


"Universities really need to be asking whether the eye-watering sums some are dispensing to vice-chancellors are really necessary to attract what they represent as talent," he said.

"As a pack, they are looking increasingly like a self-serving cartel at a time of mounting student debt and wage restraint elsewhere in the public and quasi-public sectors.


This follows an attack by Lord Adonis in which he said of the VC of Bath

"only example" the vice-chancellor was setting to her staff was "one of greed".


average remuneration of a VC is £250000

Worth noting that some VC's have voluntarily frozen their pay including Bill Rammell (Beds) in order to lead by example - though I don't think any of them are doing terribly badly.

What do you think?

greedy trough-snouters milking the quasi public sector cash cow for all it's worth or hardworkers earning every penny?

I think it depends on the VC and on the university. Bath seems to be an extreme case. Collegiate universities will obviously have less emphasis on a university-wide VC when they have college based structures of leadership. The size of the univerrsity is significant also I think.. If you have a huge university to manage, then that probably awards more pay than a smaller one.
