If this is the cost of Cardiff alone ,what cost the total cost are for taxpayers across the UK

Is that surprising? Universities are very big businesses, they bring in millions of money from overseas ,and attract top talent here.

The concept that investments and costs may result in a greater benefit could be challenging for some!

[City123]

Almost like its a Russell Group university employing experts in their fields

I just looked, in 17/18 Cardiff university had a turnover of more than £500 million! Most businesses that size will have many people on more than £100k

I can only compare to the business where I work, our turnover last year was £120million and zero employees earned over £100k. There’s around 12-15 who earn £50k+. Referring to the point about PhD my answer is around £45k-£50k

Place I work the turnover is less than £50k and there are probably half a dozen on more than 100k ,more if you include contractors

I think they're running insolvent on those figures.

Cardiff City Squad/ Manager earn a lot more? and none of them have PhD’s or are consultants who make life saving decisions everyday?
Do you think Footballers should earn more than highly skilled Professionals?

[Rjk]

I think they're running insolvent on those figures.

Wait, that should be £50 million

Just to be clear, that includes the UHW site at the Heath where many of the medical staff are practicing doctors earning consultants wages.

I'd be very surprised if there were more than a 50 non-medical academics earning that sort of money.

This. That is a lot of money for an academic to earn as a salary.

Not really, I wouldn't be surprised if senior lecturers at most too unis were paid that much. Especially if they are also doing research that is commercially valuable

just surprised it was high up the earnings table , Cardiff is only behind the University of Edinburgh (335) and the University of Manchester (331) on the list.

Each of which has a large medical/healthcare department

University funding isn’t all taxpayer money either.

[WJ99mobile]

I don’t see much of an issue with this. The best universities need the best staff.

£100k, whilst a lot to many, isn’t actually that much in this age

There won't be 250 senior lecturers though. Agree a lot of lecturers would earn that much but not as a salary. They will have multiple sources of income. I know we pay consultancy fees to academics but I think it is paid direct to them, not via their university. As above, it is surely doctors and surgeons bumping up that number.

**** me, I wish I did earn that much.
