There is extant literature on the topic including case studies from around the world showing the importance of university social responsibility. Nevertheless, the scope of thematic analysis of the topic is very narrow with only a few pieces of comprehensive systematic research published so far, and the theoretical literature only highlights...

Roberto Bergami

DETUROPE - The Central European Journal of Regional Development and Tourism 2021, 13(3):130-141 | DOI: 10.32725/det.2021.023  

Australian public universities' Vice-Chancellors (VC) are among the highest paid in the world, with an individual average yearly income in excess of one million Australian Dollars, or about twice the annual income of the Prime Minister. Although universities are significantly government funded, they individually set their VC remuneration. Recent estimates put VC salaries at least 10 time that of an average lecturer' income. The rationale given for such high salaries is that VC perform roles that are synonymous with those of free enterprise CEOS and, therefore, they should be remunerated accordingly. However, universities are neither free enterprises,...
