There is an HEFCE consultation document floating about HEIs
at the moment - Widening participation in higher
education: finding proposals. All Vice Principles have been
sent a copy.
It includes some interesting proposals and invites
comments, such as should the number of students in receipt
of DSA be used as the indicator of disabled student numbers
in an institution? Which would then be used to measure the
amount of student related payments to institutions.
For those who haven't seen it the reference is 98/39.
Comments are required by 2 November.
I would think that members of dis-forum would be in a
position to make some interesting comments to the HEFCE,
(but may also be omitted to be involved in the consultation
process by our institutions).
