Universities watchdog finds governance of senior pay lacked transparency and says reputation of Bath has been damagedStaff at the University of Bath have demanded the immediate resignation of the vice-chancellor and board of governors after the publication of a damning report into senior pay and governance at the university. The report by watchdog followed widespread disquiet both from within and outside the university, at vice-chancellor Prof Glynis Breakwell’s £468,000 annual salary. When concerns were raised within Bath, the report said, the way in which they were handled was flawed”. He said the report still did not go far enough and tweeted: “HEFCE report itself seriously inadequate – it only addresses process issues, not substance of whether the VC of Bath should be paid £500k. We accept the findings of the HEFCE report and are open to all its recommendations.
