5.4% pay rise masks gloom

Article Abstract:

The average earnings of academics in the UK rose by 5.4% to almost UKPd36,000/yr in 2004, vs 2003, according to the latest figures compiled by The Higher Education Supplement. While these figures are 2 percentage points higher than the national pay award for 2004, union leaders claim that the large salaries earned by a very small minority are disguising the real figures for the majority of university staff.
