Highest paid vice-Chancellor in the country accused of presiding over a ‘cover-up’

he highest paid vice-Chancellor in the country has been accused of presiding over a “cover-up” to prevent further details about her vast salary emerging.
‘Professor Dame Glynis Breakwell, who was paid £451,000 last year for her role as vice-chancellor at Bath University, is understood to have voted down a motion about the lack of transparency of the institution’s Remuneration Committee which decides on her pay packet.
The claims are being examined by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (Hefce) as part of an investigation into “governance practice in relation to the remuneration of senior staff” at Bath University.
In his letter, seen by the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Rayment explained that he had raised a motion to express concern at the decisions made by, and the lack of transparency of, the Remuneration Committee.
“The motion was lost by a margin of 33-30,” he told Hefce. “Among those 33 voting against were: the Vice Chancellor, at least five others whose pay is set by the Remuneration Committee, and two other members of the Remuneration Committee.”’
