Education minister condemns university pay hike

Friday 11 May 2007

Education minister Ronald Plasterk has described the 31% pay rise given to managers at Groningen University as 'unbelievable'. He says the move breaks government guidelines which state that public sector workers should not earn more than the prime minister. Simon Kuipers, chairman of the university's management board, has had a €41,000 pay rise, taking his annual salary to €171,000.
