Top vice chancellors rake in million-dollar pay as student satisfaction recovers | lucy_carroll daniellamariewh
Vice chancellors at some of the state’s biggest universities kept their million-dollar salaries last year despite heightened scrutiny on top-level pay and heavy job losses across the sector.
Professor Andrew Norton, a higher education academic at the Australian National University, said some vice chancellors took pay cuts during COVID as universities shed thousands of jobs, and “internal politics dictated university leaders had to participate in the pain”. A UNSW spokesperson said the total remuneration for new vice chancellor Attila Brungs was $1.05 million, including salary and superannuation, which is below the $1.3 million salary of former vice chancellor Ian Jacobs.
He said the analysis shows it is impossible to determine actual vice chancellor remunerations from annual reports and that, in the UK, an annual survey of vice chancellors’ pay is undertaken. “This suggests that, while institutions have been able to respond and adapt to some extent to the changed teaching and learning environment, challenges remain while on-campus learning and extracurricular activities continue to be curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” the survey read.
