<p>Vice chancellor salaries must be justifiable and should not be excessive. The
process for setting pay must be transparent. The government agrees with the recommendation
made by the Committee of University Chairs (CUC) in its senior staff remuneration
code that vice chancellors should not sit on the committee that sets their pay.</p><p>
</p><p>The government set up the regulator, the Office for Students (OfS), to regulate
the higher education sector and to ensure the sector is delivering real value for
money. The OfS has said that universities should, as a minimum, be following the CUC
senior staff remuneration code. Where issues with senior staff pay lead to concerns,
the OfS has the power to carry out independent reviews to ensure that a provider’s
governance arrangements are fit for purpose.</p><p> </p>
