Glasgow principal awarded five-year contract

THE principal of a leading Scottish university has been re-appointed despite presiding over some of the most troubled times in the institution's recent history.

In the face of growing disenchantment among academics, Glasgow University has agreed to give Professor Anton Muscatelli an extra five years in the £250,000-a-year post.

Since Mr Muscatelli joined the institution as principal in 2009, the percentage of staff who enjoy working there has fallen from 89% to 78%, while those feeling loyalty fell from 82% to 72%.
