The email was marked STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & sent to many incorrect recipients" 😉

Then the Pro-VC. The Registrar. The VC
All of them asked the HR Business Partner to draft their responses

Bullying has a human cost, but UK universities aren't interested in this
Conservative estimates suggest £millions are spent each year on mismanaged cases
This wastes public money
In times of scarcity, increased scrutiny of financial mismanagement will finally drive change

Defenders of high Vice Chancellor pay say it’s irrelevant to the poor state of university finances
At Cambridge University, senior management pay rose from £7m to £32m in 5 years. It's not only the VC whose pay has soared!
This is a surge comparable to university’s annual deficit
