Corrections and clarifications

• An article (The average pay of university vice-chancellors now exceeds £275,000, 23 February, page 13) about a report by the University and College Union said incorrectly that Debra Humphris at the University of Brighton “saw her package increase by 31%” and that Malcolm Press at Manchester Metropolitan University “enjoyed [a pay rise] of more than 20%”. While the total amount that Brighton spent on vice-chancellors’ (VCs’) pay rose by 31% from 2014/15 to 2015/16, this was due to a change of VCs during the year, with Humphris only taking up the post on 1 December 2015. In the case of Manchester Met, the reporting of the previous VC and current VC’s pay separately in the accounts led to confusion in the UCU’s calculations; the total VC pay package at Manchester Met rose by 0.6%.

• Two property articles in last Saturday’s paper described facilities for horses as a menage. That should have been manège, the art of schooling horses or the arena in which it is done. Ménage means the people who make up a household (Home and away, page 44; Snooping around, page 65, Weekend).

• Reports of my death, the weekly column by Clive James, appears in the Guardian, not in our sister paper the Observer as we suggested in a report (Clive James to publish short story collection, 24 February, page 12). You can read this week’s column on page 85 of this Saturday’s Weekend magazine.
