Thanks for the news, Vikki
If this means we can now buy the THES without cross-subsidising Fox
News, so much the better.

As I understand it from our media relations team it's to do with the
fact that the THES was sold off from News Corp last year and
traditionally they share the data with The Times. As the 2 papers now
have different owners they are arguing about who owns the data.
Best wishes,

Subject: Times League Tables - Good News??
Hi,
On the recommendation of Frances Lloyd from Swansea I emailed Ian Morton
at Universities UK who phoned me to tell me that the Times will not be
publishing the League Tables during June. There appears to be some
legal dispute going on (he's not aware of the details). It is even
conceivable that they will not be published at all this year, when you
take the timings into consideration. July would be ok, but a little
late, August pointless, who's around to comment?, September at it'll
clash with the Sunday Times and after then, probably too late to be of
use. Mystery solved.
