La Trobe University, which has a campus in Mildura, is bargaining with staff over enterprise agreements, but its Vice Chancellor was paid almost a million dollars last year.
Figures show John Dewar had a one-hundred thousand dollar pay rise in 2022 compared to the year before according to the Age.
Three Victorian university vice chancellors earned more than $1 million last year, and three received six-figure salary increases, despite all eight universities posting deficits as the COVID 19 pandemic continued to weigh on their finances.
Earlier this year it was announced that Professor Dewar AO will finish his term as Vice-Chancellor at the conclusion of his contract in early January 2024.
