Salaries of VCs to be curbed

Posted by Ingrid Thomson | 22 May, 2009

Mail and Guardian reports that the Education Department has released a draft policy to be used by university councils when determining the salaries of VCs and other senior officials or face intervention by the Department.    

Councils have failed to follow guidelines recommended in a  2005 study conducted  by Mamphela Ramphele.   That study was commissioned by the then South African Universities' Vice-Chancellors' Association -- now Higher Education South Africa (Hesa).
