Bully boy boss tops uni pay league
Anti-union scrooge pockets £623,000 in last year

The “bully boy” university boss who threatened to dock a day’s wages from workers who took part in industrial action was Britain’s top-paid prof last year.

Figures revealed by union UCU yesterday show that then Nottingham Trent vice-chancellor Neil Gorman pocketed £623,000 in 2013-14.

That represented a 70 per cent pay hike for now-retired Mr Gorman compared to 2012/13, when he earned £366,000.
