Anger at university principals’£142,000 pay raise
University principals in Scotland have been awarded salary increases of more than twice the rate of inflation despite the tight financial climate facing the sector. A survey by The Herald reveals that in 2006-07 university principals received an average salary of £162,000, a rise of 5.2% on the previous year. The increase represents an additional £142,000 taken out of the sector's annual budget. The highest paid principals are Professor Duncan Rice, from Aberdeen University, and Professor Timothy O'Shea, from Edinburgh University, who get paid £209,000. Sir Alan Langlands, from Dundee, is paid £206,000. Lecturers' representatives have criticised the rises, following a 3.5% deal for academic staff. .
Why We Should Mourn Yahoo
One guess as to what's the biggest story we'll be reporting right out of the gate. It's not like reporters at other outlets aren't placed in similarly awkward positions. Consider The Wall Street Journal reporting on News Corp. (NWS), CNBC covering General Electric (GE), or BusinessWeek writing about The McGraw-Hill Companies (MHP). But the comparison only illustrates what I consider lamentable about Microsoft's irresistible bid for my new employer. There's plenty not to like about Yahoo's predicament. I agree with those who have said this deal will go through. No, it's not a good thing for Yahoo, the Valley, or the Internet. And no, in the long run it may not do Microsoft much good either. I don't agree with Google's (GOOG) alarmist view that Microsoft will monopolize the Internet, but I am concerned Yahoo won't flourish under its new owner.
