London Business School - that sounds like a vocational school, but what about the private liberal arts universities?
More than 80 heads of universities earn more than the prime minister and some have seen their pay treble in the past decade, a Guardian report says.
The probe said 19 vice-chancellors earned more than �300,000, with the top earner netting �474,000.
The report comes as England's universities face funding cuts of �215m next year, with further hardship ahead.
Universities UK (UUK) said pay was in line with heads of similar bodies and that rises were reducing this year.
The Guardian figures suggest some vice-chancellors got pay rises of as much as 15 or 20% in 2008-9.
The highest paid vice-chancellor is Professor Sir Andrew Likierman, of London Business School, who is said to earn �474,000.
A statement from the school said it competed in a global market to attract the best business and management thinkers.

..and I thought education was supposed to be vocational. And no surprise to see the head of business leading the snouts at the trough while others carry the burden of cuts.

The London Business School sounds like what it is - where the bankrupters first climb aboard gravy boat.
Speaking of wasting money and such and vaguely something to do with the forum. I noticed the other night that this programme on Channel 5
The Business Inspector Five.tv
is sponsored by HM Inspectorate of Taxes.....
What possible reason can the Taxman have to sponsor TV shows?
The United Kingdom governance has gone completely MAD......
Maybe the headmaster of the LSE can explain it...........![]()
