A LECTURERS’ union has criticised the new City of Glasgow College after advertising for a depute principal and chief operating officer on a salary of between £96,000 and £106,000.
The executive committee of the EIS-Further Education Lecturers’ Association has claimed high salaries for senior management in Scottish colleges are “demoralising” staff.
But a college spokesman said: “The college is looking to replace the depute principal who retired earlier this year and is seeking to recruit the brightest and best candidate to continue with its pioneering work.
“This is not a new position as the EIS knows full well and they are fooling no-one when they deliberately try to mislead in this way.”
The super college is a merger of three colleges and has a £228 million campus with capacity for 40,000 students.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
