  • The Fourth Report of Senior Pay and Perks in UK Universities History This
    Transparency at the top? The fourth report of senior pay and perks in UK universities History This is the fourth report on pay and perks at the top of British higher education institutions (HEIs) to be published by the University and College Union (UCU). It forms part of the union’s ongoing campaign for greater transparency in higher education, including the rationale behind senior pay rises. UCU submitted a Freedom of Information (FoI) request to 158 HEIs in October 2017. This followed similar requests submitted in 2016, 2015 and 2014. All requests were designed to shine a light on the arbitrary nature of senior pay and perks in universities, and support the union’s call for reform. The basis for this report The FoI request that forms the basis of this report was sent to 158 (HEIs). It requested details of vice-chancellors’ (or head of institution if known by a different title) salaries and those of other senior post-holders earning over £100,000 at the institution during the academic year of 2016/17 (1 August 2016 to 31 July 2017). It also asked for details of flights, spending on hotels, spending on expenses and if the vice-chancellor was provided with accommodation by the university. Finally, we requested to know whether or not the vice-chancellor was a member of the remuneration committee, and requested a copy of the most recently ratified minutes of the institution’s remuneration committee. Variety of responses The questions on expenditure on flights, hotels, expenses and accommodation for vice-chancellors elicited a huge variation in responses with many institutions deploying exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act to avoid providing data.

  • Surrey's Large Bid to the Local Sustainable
    SURREy’S LARGE BID TO THE LOCAL SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT FUND CONTENTS Headline information 5 Foreword 7 Executive summary 9 Business cases 15 l Strategic case 17 - Guildford package 24 - Woking package 46 - Redhill/Reigate package 66 l Economic case 105 l Commercial case 161 l Financial case 167 l Management case 175 TRAVELSMART 3 FOREWORD Travel SMART is our plan to boost Surrey’s economy by improving sustainable transport, tackling congestion and reducing carbon emissions. Surrey has a very strong economy. The county is a net contributor to the Exchequer, with a tax income of £6.12 million per year. In addition, Surrey has a GVA of £26 billion – larger than any area other than London. It is not surprising that the South East in general and Surrey in particular have been called the engine room of the UK economy. Our excellent location and strong road and rail network have helped to make Surrey a prime location for national and international businesses. A third of the M25 runs through the county. Surrey residents and businesses can enjoy the county’s unparalleled environment and still be within an easy commute of London, Heathrow and Gatwick. We have more than 80 rail stations in the county. Surrey is both an excellent place to live and to locate a business. But these advantages have also brought problems. Surrey’s roads are heavily used with more than twice the national average traffic flows. Much of the road network is saturated which means that a traffic incident can cause chronic congestion as drivers look for alternative routes.
