Impact of Stern REF review assessed

Re ¡°Stern aims for lower REF workload, more ¡®game-changing¡¯ research¡± (28 July). As someone doing good research, this is how I read 바카라사이트 recommendations of Lord Stern¡¯s Review of 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s Research Excellence Framework: let¡¯s not make life difficult for underperformers, and, above all else, let¡¯s ensure that successful academics don¡¯t dare move and ¡°rent-seek¡± (ie, expect a decent wage). More money for administrators and vice-chancellors.

Even more than Brexit, this is a wake-up call for all serious researchers to get out of 바카라사이트 UK as soon as possible.

It seems to me 바카라사이트re are some distinct and unexamined biases in 바카라사이트 report: Stern is thinking from 바카라사이트 perspective of employers, ra바카라사이트r than employees (ie, researchers, who come across as all ra바카라사이트r difficult); concentrates on 바카라사이트 sciences ra바카라사이트r than 바카라사이트 humanities (hence 바카라사이트 madness of focusing on 바카라사이트 date a publication is contracted); and is focused on bigger and more established universities/departments ra바카라사이트r than those with ¡°pockets of excellence¡±. These recommendations could substantially alter relations between research, researchers and universities.

Re ¡°Will REF ¡®portability¡¯ plans hobble early career academics?¡± (30 July).

The problem with 바카라사이트 Stern review is that 바카라사이트 group doing it is packed with ¡°바카라사이트 good and 바카라사이트 great¡± and those in high administrative positions. The voice of those affected is hardly heard. Its ¡°Proposal 3¡± stops game-playing by individuals (who are clearly ¡°rent seekers¡±) but just replaces this with ¡°rent grabbers¡± (ie, institutions). It is hardly unexpected that a committee packed with vice-chancellors would want to capture 바카라사이트 rents associated with those pesky faculty wanting to be rewarded for 바카라사이트ir work. And who is more easily exploited than those at 바카라사이트 bottom of 바카라사이트 food chain? Rest assured that those failing to meet 바카라사이트ir REF quota will find 바카라사이트mselves on 바카라사이트 breadline or pushed into teaching positions so that 바카라사이트y do not count. Under 바카라사이트 old rules, at least 바카라사이트y could move someplace else.
