News from Head of SchoolRAE 2008: More Details Published The overall quality profile, and sub-profiles for research outputs, research environment and esteem indicators has now been published by HEFCE at: http://www.rae.ac.uk/pubs/2009/pro/#sub with the details for Computer Science at: http://www.rae.ac.uk/pubs/2009/pro/uoas/uoa%2023%20-%20all%20submissions.pdf Perhaps the principal observation relative to other top ranking universities is that our esteem indicators were not especially strong. This had been anticipated, and is the reason why academic staff can request that external engagements receive recognition as part of the duties allocation process. University Strategy DocumentThe university is revising its top-level strategy documentation, and a draft of the latest version is available at: http://intranet.cs.man.ac.uk/csonly/newsletters/towards_manchester_2020_16-03-09.doc Comments can be made either individually or fed back through faculties by Deans (the latter seems to be the preferred route for recurring issues). As such, if you have comments, please feel invited to pass these back directly or to route them through me, using the latter route only where you can demonstrate that there is wider support for the comment. Library BudgetJRULM have informed us that at the end of the financial year there is still some money available in the CS book fund. You are invited to send any recommendations for book purchases directly to Barry White. Unfortunately, there are no funds at present for new journal subscriptions.
