Funding and Salaries

This weeks Guardian published an article on the back of a Freedom of Information request to Universities setting out the Vice-Chancellor's pay changes over the last period: Salaries soar for heads of British Universities. Bradford does not appear in the top ten and it's not a league table that many would like to be in perhaps but for those with an eye for Freedom of Information transparency, the figures are available as they always have been in the annual financial report and the detail can also be found on an FoI publication site. This comes in the same week of course as the HEFCE funding letters setting out cuts - today's article is How much will my University be cut by? A nice spoiler by the Funding Council earlier this week maybe (what a cynic). The effect on Bradford appears to be -0.6%.
