Colleagues,
Those of us in the U.S. follow this discussion with interest, since there is ever more talk of assessment, external control and oversight of college and university research and teaching.
Peter Brooks's review of several recent books on the state of U.S. higher education is perhaps of interest by way of context:

This list is the perfect place for such discussions, as well as all the other notices of publications, scholarships, conferences, lectures, and the like.
Best,
Scott

this is THE list for German studies in the UK. And the REF is THE issue
for Germanists in the UK. Consequently this is THE place to discuss this.

Yes, my reply to all was intentional. Just a suggestion to list members to
reconsider replying to all in these matters and especially in less
important matters. You might even have more success creating a Facebook
group for the cause. Here, you're really just preaching to the choir and
not everyone is even directly involved in that choir, though you may have
a lot of sympathizers. Consider inviting interested people to join a
Facebook group and you might even attract a larger number of interested
people, if you let others join.

I guess it is meant as a demonstration as well -- there have been (too)
many postings in the last days, my mail-programme automatically started to
identify mails from the list as spam which might indicate that there has
been a remarkable flood of messages...
All the best,
MH (staying on the list)

Betreff: Re: Remove from list
then why not write to Jiscmail to be removed rather than send it to the
whole *discussion* list?

Please remove me from the list, too. If people wouldn't "reply to all"
all the time and instead reply to individual members, I might stick
around, but this is too much.
Thanks,
