Dear All,
At Strathclyde we are frustrated by the inclusion of non credit-bearing
students within the HESA calculations of expenditure per FTE. Our NCB
students do not use our library and computing facilities and the SHEFC
does not fund NCB activity.
I raised this recently with HESA with a view to getting the NCB students
excluded from the FTE for the forthcoming HESA publication. HESA
responded that as other institutions have NCBs included and a short
timescale was being worked to no change could be considered.
If other institutions share this view I'd like to raise the issue with
HESA again. I'd be grateful if you could mail me directly as to whether
you agree with the inclusion of NCB students when calculating
expenditure per FTE. Any other views or comments on this issue will
also be welcome.
I'll mail the results to admin-planning.
Many thanks
Ruth
