For the attention of the Head of the Planning Department
Planning Department Questionnaire
Dear Colleague,
As part of an internal audit, we are currently reviewing the position of the
Planning and Market Research Unit within the reporting frameworks of our
University.
I would like to compare the work of our team with colleagues in other
University planning departments, particularly those reporting to
Vice-Chancellors, Deputy Vice-Chancellors and Registrars.
I have enclosed a short questionnaire which builds on the survey collated by
Frank Lynch (University of Glasgow, March1999.). It should only take a few
moments to complete and I would be very grateful if you could return this
questionnaire at your earliest convenience.
Thank you in advance for your help.
All information will be treated as strictly private and will not be distributed
outside this University.
