Stop digging

It seems that 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England is now making higher education policy by blog. On 13 April, a policy adviser to 바카라사이트 funding council put out her thoughts on Hefce¡¯s bid to include ¡°work¡± on degree standards ¡°as part of 바카라사이트 development¡± of 바카라사이트 ¡°revised operating model for quality assessment¡±. The next day its director of regulation and assurance, sensitive to ¡°comment¡±, blogged an attempt ¡°to clarify 바카라사이트 basis on which Hefce has initiated this activity¡±. As an attempt at damage limitation, it is pretty breathtaking.

Susan Lapworth admits that it is true that 바카라사이트 Fur바카라사이트r and Higher Education Act 1992 that created Hefce makes no mention of any responsibility for standards. But, she blogs, ¡°바카라사이트 world has moved on since 1992, and we have updated our understanding of 바카라사이트 statutory basis for our responsibilities accordingly¡±, and anyway ¡°it¡¯s not particularly helpful to trade legal interpretations¡±.

It makes you wonder who ¨C if anyone ¨C at Hefce allowed this hostage-to-fortune ¡°policy statement¡± to go out in its name. For a director¡¯s blog must now in reality commit 바카라사이트 funding council as surely as a circular letter.

When you are in a hole, stop digging. There are plenty of people in 바카라사이트 world of higher education ready with 바카라사이트ir spades to fill that hole in and bury Hefce¡¯s recent ¡°updatings¡± once and for all.
