Probe ordered into £470,000 severance for college chiefs

A REVIEW has been launched into a severance package worth nearly half-a-million pounds paid to two senior members of staff from a college in one of the most deprived parts of Scotland.

Glasgow Kelvin College has asked its auditors to review the payments - made to former members of staff at North Glasgow College - after a request from the Scottish Parliament's audit committee.

Ronnie Knox, the former principal of North Glasgow College, and John Gray, his vice-principal, received £471,000 between them under the deal, which followed the college's merger with two other institutions to form the new Glasgow Kelvin College.

Mr Knox, who received a salary of about £120,000, was given a payout of more than £310,000, while Mr Gray, who earned £80,000, received more than £160,000.
