Colleagues, Those of us in the U.S. follow this discussion with interest, since there is ever more talk of assessment, external control and oversight of college and university research and teaching. Peter Brooks's review of several recent books on the state of U.S. higher education is perhaps of interest by way of context: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2011/mar/24/our-universities-how-bad-how-good/ This list is the perfect place for such discussions, as well as all the other notices of publications, scholarships, conferences, lectures, and the like.

And the REF is THE issue for Germanists in the UK. Consequently this is THE place to discuss this. nils On Sun, March 6, 2011 6:04 pm, Crawford, Heide wrote: Yes, my reply to all was intentional. Just a suggestion to list members to reconsider replying to all in these matters and especially in less important matters. You might even have more success creating a Facebook group for the cause. Here, you're really just preaching to the choir and not everyone is even directly involved in that choir, though you may have a lot of sympathizers. Consider inviting interested people to join a Facebook group and you might even attract a larger number of interested people, if you let others join.
