In this issue reveiw for 22-28 February, the THE editorial team discusses the results from our latest vice-chancellors' pay survey and asks are governing boards doing enough to police remuneration? We also talk about US universities that are playing the long game with national or global research ambitions set out over decades or even a century. And we hear about the unlikely addiiton to campus facilities at a university in England. 

Sara Custer is joined by features editor Paul Jump and reporters Rachael Pells and Matthew Reisz.
