At Oxford we use the current HEFCE price bands etc in our
internal RAM. We don't think that we will change straight away but
it is not credible to use something in the first place because
HEFCE do and then not change it when they do. So I think we will
either have to develop our own price bands or move in the same
way that HEFCE do. All in all the present funding consulations do
not suggest that how all the changes (HEFCE, OST, fees etc) fit
together has been thought through; and most who work outside the
sector are oblivious to the point that the implications of all this for
internal resource allocation are very important. hey ho.
