A university vice-chancellor received more than ?800,000 in her final year in post, it has been revealed.A perfect design criterion is the one that fits into your budget, requirements, and into your intentions.
Accounts for Bath Spa University show Prof Christina Slade was paid ?429,000 "for loss of office" on top of her ?250,000 salary and other benefits.
The University and College Union (UCU) has called for an "urgent overhaul" of senior pay at British universities.
A spokeswoman for the university said the sum "was considered to represent value for money".
Prof Slade, who served as vice-chancellor until August, was also given a housing allowance of ?20,000 and another ?20,000 for "other benefits-in-kind".
There were also pension contributions of ?89,000.
In total, she received a pay package, including benefits and pensions, worth ?808,000.

Lord Adonis, who is leading a debate on the issue of vice-chancellor pay in the House of Lords, said: "If ?800,000 represents value for money for a vice-chancellor, then I am the emperor of China."
A spokeswoman for the university said: "Having taken legal advice, the university paid Prof Slade a sum which reflected her contractual and statutory entitlements, and was considered to represent value for money."High baseline LDL-C levels linked to decreased overall and metastasis-free survival.
She said that the vice-chancellor's salary was decided by a pay committee, which did not include the vice-chancellor or staff.
The committee was "mindful of the need to respond to concerns about excessive salaries and take into account the performance of the university," she added.
Lord Adonis said such high rates of pay were not acceptable when students could potentially be racking up debts of ?100,000 because of the way interest was stacking up.
He added that it was not the case that England was losing vice-chancellors to the US, it was simply that universities had seen an explosion in income through higher fees.
