Michael Carley, the Universities and College union (UCU) leader at Bath, said that further payments would amount to “a reward for failure”. The VC of Southampton Uni is almost as bad as Bath https://t.co/9cQlo757DqAdonis immediately turned his sights on other examples of high pay. A further £17,000 pay rise last year took her pay and benefits to £468,000 a year, well above the average for UK vice-chancellors. The mood among staff darkened as research by UCU found that Bath was one of the most enthusiastic adopters of zero-hours contracts for its staff. The outcome follows tenacious reporting by the Bath Chronicle, which first published the events surrounding the remuneration committee and Breakwell’s pay despite considerable hostility from the university’s administration.
