That the Senate notes the recent PhD thesis by Dr Greg Pazmandy, from the University of Technology Sydney, who found that:

(a) there is no association between Australian University rankings and the levels of, and changes, to Vice-Chancellor compensation;

(b) there is no association between financial performance measures of Government Business Enterprises and the levels of, and changes to, CEO compensation, even after controlling for their community service obligations; and

(c) the only explanatory variable associated with compensation for Vice-Chancellors and Chief Executive Officers is the size of the organisation.
