A college principal who was suspended after an audit revealed £5 million worth of overclaimed funding received a £75,000 pay-out last year.
Paul Di Felice’s compensation for loss of office was revealed in Ruskin College’s recently published 2021 accounts.
De Felice spent nine years at the residential college until he was suspended pending an investigation in May 2021.
The Education and Skills Funding Agency is clawing back £5.35 million from the college after overclaims for adult education budget and residential bursary funding were found.
