The bosses on over £1k a day LOUISE RICHARDSON UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD

-

LOUISE Richardson, vice-chancellor of Oxford University, earns a basic salary of £374,000.

But once benefits are added on, she earns in excess of £457,000 a year.

The world-renowned institutio­n also spent £17,894 on her £2million Victorian mansion.

Professor Richardson, right, enraged academics by comparing her financial package favourably to those of footballer­s and bankers.

But she has not taken a pay cut during the pandemic. Oxford has more than £4billion in reserves, while its constituen­t colleges sit on even more.

Professor Richardson quoted Nelson Mandela in support of the university’s controvers­ial statue of Cecil Rhodes, the mining magnate and politician after whom its Rhodes Trust charity is named, saying: “Cecil

John Rhodes and I would have made common cause.”
