Mouth stuffed with gold

According to a colleague's analysis of the institutional financial reports, my Vice-Chancellor was paid £206,000 in 2007-2008. That's £12,000 more than Gordon Brown and twice that of a top-ranking surgeon.

I make that an 8.5% pay rise (or £16,000) - despite her statement to us that our 5% rise has caused financial problems. I'm assuming that she declined to take a rise this year then… but I can't say because she hasn't even acknowledged my polite enquiry.
