Abstract: Average wages of higher-education teaching personnel (HETP) in 2015 must account for 130% of the average wages in a given region. The Russian average HETP wages in January–September 2015 accounted for 140.2% of the average wages in economy, showing high differentiation by constituent territory of the Russian Federation. Russia’s Ministry of Education and Science has recently concluded that HETP average wages much higher than 130% is indica tive of that the money management of a higher education institution is costinefficient. Therefore the Ministry plans to cut subsidies which subordinated higher education institutions receive for implementing their government assignment, considering it reasonable that no extra money should be allocated to institutions which can aff ord above-normal HETP wages. Hence, budget allocations may be cut for such institutions, whereas they may increase for institutions which fail to catch up with the target value. With such a policy in place, however, a reverse eff ect can be attained, that is, higher education institutions will cut their HETP average wages in order to be eligible to apply for more funds to cover their current operations.
