Dear CGF members, I am posting the following message anonymously on behalf of members of this list. If people wish to respond anonymously, please contact me privately, and I can arrange to post your responses to the list. Sincerely, Lawrence Co-owner, CGF List Apologies to non-UK subscribers.... We're interested in hearing about cases where research active staff are being excluded from departmental RAE submissions in order to 'improve' 2001 ratings. We'd also like to know if such staff have recourse to appeal and whether these issues are being linked in any way to redundancy and early retirement. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
