Yes, but that is an important fact, if its true. Any of you facing
this problem needs to have firm evidence to present to your paymasters
about the level of resources needed to maintain a comprehensively
branded set of interlinked web sites.
My feeling is that it comes down to political will. As you demonstrate
from Nottingham, the individual faculties are beyond this level of
control, and the centre is probably too weak and unwilling to take
them on. And if thats true of Nottingham, imagine the problem in a
place like Oxford, where the colleges are _legally_ not under under
the control of a central admin....
Perhaps you could explain further, in relation to my sticks and
carrots business, how you tried to influence them at Nottingham?
