About time there are some admin pro/vcs earning way too much and other that earn the money i.e. the academics earning way too little. We need to know the names of those earning way too much. Why should some senior admin be earning double treble what a professor earns?

I am unconvinced that the arguments of the 'Russell Group' add up on this. To take one argument, it does not look or sound like a great 'regulatory burden' - rather a matter of sharing existing documentation. And as a sector we are not unreasonably being asked to be more transparent - I see no fundamental problem with that. We have a perfect storm in HE with VC pay concerns and staff pension concerns. Greater transparency has a role in helping us through the storm.

It is interesting to note from the article that the very highest paid in the sector appear to be a small group of academic staff who get paid more than VCs e.g. see the figures for Cambridge and Oxford.
