Subject: research assessment in the U.K.
In Humanist 10.643 Elisabeth Burr asks for information on academic
assessment, in light of events in Germany. As I have just recently
discovered, academic institutions in the U.K. are the subject of a Research
Assessment Exercise, the results of which have recently been published for
1996. See <http://back.niss.ac.uk/education/hefc/>, which contains
information about the Higher Education Funding Councils of the U.K. in
general with links to various assessments.
Informed commentary on the RAE in this country, or similar exercises
elsewhere, would be welcome to many, I'm sure. Here humanities computing
has, I think, not yet figured into an RAE because the field is so new. Has
it anywhere else?
