Elite 19 to set own pay agenda

Article Abstract:

The top universities in the United Kingdom are to break ranks with the remainder of the nation's higher education institutions and set their own policy on issues such as student tuition fees and academic pay. The move, which could see the Russell Group - which represents the principals and vice-chancellors of 19 of the UK's leading research and technology institutions - introduce policies on preferential pay in order to attract top academics, has been criticised by other vice-chancellors. The Russell Group plans to introduce the measures as a result of concerns that its worries over issues such as fees, pay and research funding are not being best served by continuing to abide by policies set down by Universities UK.
