<p>Universities are autonomous bodies and it is for them to determine pay arrangements

clear that efficiency includes demonstrating restraint in senior pay and remains concerned
about the substantial upwards drift in salaries of some top management. We would like
to see senior leaders in the sector exercise more pay restraint.”</p><p> </p><p>Jo

to show restraint in Vice Chancellors' pay and for the sector to demonstrate more
leadership especially at a time when students are concerned about value for money.</p><p>
