Dear all,the university is currently reviewing the way in which
HEFCE income is distributed to departments. The current
proposal is to move to a system where money follows
students, that is departments get money on based on the
number of students on modules, rather than programmes.
Does any one have any words of wisdom that they like to
share with me, before we start? In particular are there
any pitfalls we should be aware of? Also if you currently
running a modular based system and have chosen to abandon
it, could you say why?
It makes sense logically and provided the student data is
accurate should be relatively straight forward, but I just
have a feeling that I'm missing something really obvious.
I realise that we do need to make some policy decision
first, such as do we give the 'home' department an
allowance for the work involved in recruitment/student
support and also when should the extract of data be taken.
But anything else I've missed?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Anna
