This page sets out the maximum fees payable to tertiary education institution (TEI) council members.
The Minister responsible for tertiary education determines the maximum fees that can be paid to council members under section 179 of the Education Act 1989 . The Minister operates within the Fees framework for members appointed to bodies in which the Crown has an interest (CO 19 (1)).
Each council determines the actual fees within this maximum. If the Chief Executive or Vice-Chancellor is a member of the council, they are not entitled to fees.
