> Dear colleagues
>
> We are trying to draw together viability/sustainability
> criteria for both
> programmes and modules. For example, for modules we want to
> identify a
> threshold number of enrolled students, below which departments
> must provide
> justification. Other proposed criteria are a) the number of
> modules
> provided by departments, b) the ratio of modules per staff
> member, c)
> proportion of funded students per module and so on. We have a
> portfolio
> review group as a sub-committee of planning and resources
> committee. This
> group currently approves the addition of new programme
> proposals and
> proposals for discontinuing programmes. The group also wishes
> to
> rationalise the whole portfolio of modules across the
> University.
>
> I'd be grateful for any information that people might care to
> send in this
> regard and of course to share general findings.

> Thanks
