They protest for :

While students wear their shoes on the asphalt to oppose the thaw tuition, senior leaders of Quebec universities have shared nearly one million dollars in golden parachutes for their retirement. A compilation made ​​by the Journal de Québec, from documents obtained under the Access to Information, we learn that the rectors, vice rectors and deans other checks totaled $ 942,304 at the time bid farewell to their respective owners.

These advantages, perfectly legal, are provided in the "Protocol Executives' or in internal regulations of the universities. In the case of networks UQ (University of Quebec), conditions of employment are set by the Government. For other institutions, these are the boards that make the decision.

Severance pay the most generous was given to Judith Woodsworth, former rector of Concordia University. The latter is left with a check for $ 169 573 excluding severance pay of $ 747 045 that had sparked controversy there about fifteen months.

If the pundits universities should decide on a whim, to retire this morning, they would receive all the tidy sum of $ 2.7 million.

The former Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sherbrooke, Réjean Hébert, was entitled to a severance payment of $ 115,445 by retiring from that position in September 2010. Whoever comes to formalize his candidacy for the PQ in the riding of St. Francis (Eastern Townships) still remains an employee of the Sherbrooke University as a professor in geriatrics. "I never ceased to be a professor and do research even when I was dean (between 2004 and 2010)," he told the Journal de Québec.

Students outraged

Not surprisingly, student representatives - on strike for three weeks for good some of them - have roundly denounced those bonuses.

"Again, university leaders do what they want with public money. This is unacceptable, insulting and unwarranted. Students are asked to pay for these abuses there, "choked Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, spokesman for the Coalition off the Association for Student Labor Solidarity (CLASS).

The reasoning is the same side of Martine Desjardins, president of the Quebec Federation of University Students (FEUQ). "It's shocking, disturbing and frustrating, she lamented. Looks like the handshakes of a multinational and everything is done on the backs of taxpayers. "

The highest paid

In 2010-2011, the annual salary of some university leaders hovered near peaks. Here are the emoluments of the five best-paid bosses:

- Richard Levin, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, McGill: $ 518,101

-Heather Munroe-Blum, Principal, McGill University: $ 369 250

- Guy Breton, Rector, University of Montreal $ 365 000

- Judith Woodsworth, former rector until December 22, 2010, Concordia University *: $ 351,750

- Frederick Lowy, Rector, Concordia University: $ 350 000

- Allan Peter Todd, Dean of the Faculty of Management, McGill: $ 340 000

Severance

In retiring, these five people have received severance pay:

- Judith Woodsworth, former rector until December 22, 2010, Concordia University: $ 169,573

-Daniel Bénéteau, Vice President Human Resources and Administration, University of Quebec at Rimouski: $ 148,923

- Guy Lemire: Secretary General, University of Quebec in Abitibi-Témiscamingue: $ 137,414

- Christiane Piché, vice president, research and creation, Université Laval *: $ 119 872
