11% for the VC and 1% for me? that's just plain wrong.

It would be nice for the VC to comment on his pay rise.

“The Open University is the UK’s biggest university and a world leader in flexible part-time education, with more than 200,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students, including 12,000 studying directly with the University overseas and more than 30,000 students on validated programmes. We transform lives through education and the quality of our students’ experience is at the heart of what we do. We are committed to delivering quality, flexible education for all and our students have rated the OU in the top five universities for overall satisfaction since the National Student Survey began in 2005………… The success of The Open University is due to our outstanding staff”.

This shows a complete lack of leadership from the OU Senior ranks!

Concern that it is rapidly becoming clear that many staff are in danger of earning little more than the minimum wage for unsociable hours and a lack of appreciation of the skilled staff working at the OU.

My 1% pay rise this year is £11 per month before tax. Hardly noticeable.

I am an Associate Lecturer and the rates of pay for us normally, and when we do additional work as "Day Lecturers" has fallen seriously behind over recent years.

1% is well below the rate of inflation

It's disgusting that the head honcho gets a huge payrise while us worker ants don't get anything considering that The Open University (or Hive, if you will) would crumble without us

Dismayed and disgusted by an 11% pay rise for Mr. Bean. We should be aiming at more equal societies and more equal organisations. Who made this award? They and Mr Bean should read "The Spirit Level" for the arguments.
