If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

Is this the right messaging for students to be able to work from morning until midnight? It may be popular with students but it may not be good modelling and of course will presumably increase costs too.

Why don’t we align VC salaries with senior civil service permanent secretary salaries? Parity in public sector pay makes good sense and would most likely strengthen an HE underfunding argument.

by Graham Towl

profgrahamtowl.bsky.social
And although such salaries themselves are a very small percentage of financial turnover they are routinely used to undermine the credibility of an under funding narrative - maybe because they are seen to be giving the finger to government and the public?

The permanent secretary post for the department of health and social care is being advertised with pay of 170-200k. The budget responsibility will be roughly around 200 to over 1000 times as much as a university leader - and yet get paid significantly less - albeit a great salary.
