## Resource

Adelaide University’s new Vice Chancellor Nicola Phillips has condemned a controversial $3 million annual payout to a former UniSA leader, calling it out of step with public and institutional values. The revelation, emerging early in Adelaide Uni’s formation, has sparked outrage among staff and critics, who accuse university councils of being too corporate and out of touch. The National Tertiary Education Union slammed the pay as a misuse of public funds and called for a salary cap at twice a professor’s pay. While the council is reviewing the details, no formal investigation has started — reigniting national debates over executive pay in higher education.
