Could 4pm on the day of the deadline for submitting the data be considered a little late for us to be finding this out?
On the other hand, without seeing the full data definitions in detail, I'm a little nervous about allowing anyone to use what's been requested unchallenged. It would appear all our franchise students have been included, but not the staff that teach them. Any calculations relating the two are therefore likely to be very wrong. And good luck to anyone trying to unpick our staff and research income data for Unit of Assessment 41 to assign it to the appropriate subject area; that alone has taken us quite a bit of time.
