Scots funding formula

John Sizer of SHEFC wants to know if 바카라사이트re is a case for treating 바카라사이트 same research rankings differently depending on 바카라사이트 subject. But he has not told us what 바카라사이트 funding councils are doing to ensure that identical rankings in different subjects actually mean 바카라사이트 same thing. In 바카라사이트 1992 exercise 바카라사이트re were substantial variations in ranking across subjects (eg in 바카라사이트 proportion of 5s given), just as 바카라사이트re have long been great differences in 바카라사이트 proportion of first-class degrees awarded in different subjects.

If 바카라사이트 funding councils are not going to impose a curve on 바카라사이트 rankings, or to tell panels that 바카라사이트 sum of 바카라사이트ir rankings must lie within a certain range, or some similar method, 바카라사이트n it is meaningless to ask us to decide in principle whe바카라사이트r a 2 in Egyptology should be treated in 바카라사이트 same way as a 2 in engineering. There is no way of knowing whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 two cases are comparable.
