University’s Response
I would like to know, in full the details of Principal Anton Muscatelli's and Andrea
Nolan's Pay Package, including but not limited to, annual salary, bonuses, predicted
pay rises, and additional benefits.
Principal Anton Muscatelli’s salary is £250,000 and Senior VP Andrea Nolan’s salary is
£110,250. Andrea Nolan was awarded a £5000 bonus in August 2009 to be paid in monthly
instalments to July 2010. There is no record of any predicted pay rises for future. They are
both in the Universities Superannuation Scheme and therefore, in line with all other staff in the
scheme, they receive 16% of their salary in employer's contributions.
