Dear Colleagues
Lancaster has received the same
response.

Dear Colleagues,
The Guardian have finally responded (but only in
part) to my earlier queries. Note their response below.
Should we, as a sector, be concerned that the Guardian
are unable to:
-
grasp the way in which institutions work, and the
relationship (or not) between JACS codes and academic cost
centres;
-
include all JACS codes in their
analysis, and therefore include all students in their
analysis
Best wishes and in despair,
Judy

Dear Judy Evans
Let me apologise for any lack of
clarity in our request for information for the Guardian university guide tables
and ask you to answer the points below – I hope this is the last time we will
have to bother you.
As in
previous years please use only one Cost Centre per Guardian subject. We only use
principal JACS, not sub-JACS. JACS which we are not using (and do not appear on
the spreadsheet) are listed below. These students will not be counted in the
tables.
I would be
grateful if you could return this to me by Tuesday (February 6) so we can get
the ball rolling with HESA. Thank you for your cooperation

Review of Cost
Centre Submission: University of Brighton
While conducting the
necessary quality checks on the cost centre consultation file for University of
Brighton the following observations have been made:
1 Cost Centre
41 is not used by the Guardian Tables. Please review/adjust.
2
Only Principal Subject JACS are used when creating Guardian Subjects. We have
created an updated file (attached) for Brighton using only the principal JACS
(column D), presented alongside the originally submitted JACS (column C) for you
to review/adjust as appropriate.
3 Multiple cost centres assigned
to Guardian Subjects. Note that a single cost centre should be assigned to a
single Guardian Subject. Please review/adjust.
4 JACS codes NOT
used in the Guardian Tables are: A0, A9, B0, B3, F0, F9, H0, J7, J9, L0, L9, N7,
Q2, Q4, Q5, Q9, V0, V9, W8, X2, Y0. Please use only those available from the
drop down lists.
General Statements/Guidance (applicable
to all HEIs):
a Only Principal Subject JACS are used when
creating Guardian Subjects.
b Only one cost centre should be
assigned to a Guardian Subject
c JACS codes NOT used in the
Guardian Tables are: A0, A9, B0, B3, F0, F9, H0, J7, J9, L0, L9, N7, Q2, Q4, Q5,
Q9, V0, V9, W8, X2, Y0.
d A valid JACS code can only appear in
one Guardian Subject.
