In the current HE system in the UK, universities are only in name public institutions. In practice, they behave like private corporations focusing on maximising 'annual surpluses'. Education is the medium with which these surpluses are achieved, not the main objective.
This VC's defence for 350K+ salaries is that some VCs are running "billion pounds businesses". And there is the crux of the problem.they are not businesses their are higher education institutions. 1/2

It is a historical tragedy that Germany, the perpetrator of the Holocaust, and many Germans today in their admirable attempt to atone for past atrocities, are on the wrong side of history again with their unquestioning support for Israel despite of the war crimes it commits.
Germany’s bond with Israel has been admirable – but it is becoming a straitjacket | John Kampfner
