Mike Milne-Picken's analysis of the data on academic staff
recently supplied to the THES is perfectly reasonable and valid.
Unfortunately, one cannot have any confidence that such detailed
interpretation of, and justification for, the inclusion or
exclusion of certain information will also appear in any article
published as a result of this dataset being provided in the way
that it has.
A primary concern must be that there is, yet again, potential for
data supplied by HESA to be published in a way that can be
materially damaging to many institutions.
