Hi Kathy

Yes, bands are set centrally, and thus largely out of the reach of
single subject groups (ie: creative writing), particularly when they
are absorbed into larger ones (ie: English or Language/Literature
etc).

There has been a relatively recent band change, of course, and in our
favour.

But there is also a suggestion there will be some clawing back of
that band change in coming years as not everyone (ie: lab subjects)
is happy with it.

In the meantime, not all universities have let the band changes go
through immediately (which would have put us in a more favourable
position, as noted) and some arts and humanities subjects are
suffering because institutions have insisted on a 'transition period'
for subjects in areas like Technology/Science etc.

Sounds like your management has done as above; many have, and they
argue that this is fair because they would have done likewise for any
subject group/funding change of this magnitude.

all best wishes
Graeme
