Professor David Eastwood is investigating how we can better understand and measure the performance of higher education institutions in ways that recognise the individual missions of each one.
He has been asked amongst other things to examine possible performance measures of quality in areas identified in the grant letter.
Consideration will also be given to how such measures can take account of the different missions of different institutions.
What are your views on this issue?

Update (12/09/08)
“Within this context of increasing diversity, HEFCE’s work on institutional performance will become even more relevant and important. It recommends that information on institutions be collated and presented in ways that will give a more rounded and sophisticated view of performance than at present.”
(thoughts on what appear to be emerging themes extracted from John Denham’s speech to the UUK conference 11/09/08)
The full report by Prof. Eastwood will be published in October both on the DIUS website and here on the JISC hosted Future of Higher Education blog / forum where your views can be posted and discussion engaged with other interested stakeholders on the issues raised and recommendations made.
