At the University of Northumbria, we have produced a volume called Key
Statistical Indicators. This is used to inform annual Academic Development
Planning meeting held between the Vice-Chancellor and each head of an
academic department/school.
The volume contains two facing pages of indicators for each
department/school. There are six sections of indicators. Theses are:
Resources (income; expenditure; staff FTE; student load)
Inputs (applications; enrolments; entry qualifications)
Outputs (completion rates; pass rates; degree classifications)
Outcomes (First Destination)
Research (RAE results; research degrees awarded)
Teaching Quality (TQA outcomes, etc)
These are used in conjunction with more detailed financial and staffing
figures to decide how each academic area should develop. Each HoD submits a
written plan in which they can use the indicators to back up their suggested
direction.
As yet, the connection to the budget process is not explicit but this a
coming development.

> At Bradford we are developing a new internal resourcing system for use
> from
> next year, though initially it will be phased in. This will place greater
> importance on written plans, but will also use a series of numerical (and
> perhaps non-numerical) measures of performance as "Indicators". These will
> be used in making decisions about budgets. The Indicators will cover
> theorteical income (eg HEFCE load etc), Workload, Activities and
> Expenditure (staff and space, SSR's etc) and Performance (TQA, RAE,
> attainment of specific targets etc). As far as possible they will cover
> non-academic as well as academic areas.
