I think we should all do what we can to communicate the difficulties
and expense incurred by universities when standard fees are not
announced by the end of November....or at least mid-December.
I doubt that there are any real changes in the figures being agreed
in the "slippage" between planned and actual release dates. It seems to be a
non-recognition that lots of other fees are set locally in the light of this
information, systems prepared and continuing students and new
applicants informed.
I have spoken to the policy group at the DfEE today.
Lynn Wells thinks there is realistic hope that we shall have both UG
and PG figures by 5 February.
Let's see.
