Your article "The private consultancy work dilemma", (THES, April 23) about payments to Oxford lecturers in management studies is inaccurate. In certain cases, lecturers may be paid Pounds 15,000 extra a year in return for an increased teaching load of some 40 per cent and for giving up 15 of the normal 30 days' consultancy - not "in exchange for not undertaking more than 30 days of private consultancy".
