Re: Vice chancellors £500k salary

According to this ranking site:

https://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/bath-spa/

Bath University ranks 11th, and

86.2% of graduates achieve a first or upper second class honours degree.
Sounds like they're giving away degrees for good attendance and not falling asleep .....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Bath

The University of Bath can trace its roots to a technical school established in Bristol in 1856. In 1885 the school became part of the Society of Merchant Venturers and was renamed the Merchant Venturers' Technical College. Meanwhile, in the neighbouring city of Bath, a pharmaceutical school, the Bath School of Pharmacy, was founded in 1907. This became part of the Technical College in 1929.

The college came under the control of the Bristol Education Authority in 1949; it was renamed then the Bristol College of Technology, and in 1960 the Bristol College of Science and Technology, when it became one of ten technical colleges under the umbrella of the Ministry of Education.

University status

In 1963, the Robbins Committee report paved the way for the college (along with a number of other institutions) to assume university status as Bath University of Technology.

Construction of the purpose-built campus began in 1964, with the first building, now known as 4 South, completed in 1965, and the Royal Charter was granted in 1966.
So, a "technical" college is a step up from teacher training and cookery classes, I guess .....

This, I believe is one of those "purpose-built campuses" from the 1960's:

1983

A motley band of suburbanites (the "Comic Strip" cast) arrives at a summer school to simulate life in an Iron Age village. However the village is right in the middle of a modern university campus (Brunel) which somewhat detracts from its air of authenticity.
