Change management notes | Amendment to the guidance specifying how to treat students with a supervisor who has not been explicitly allocated to a UOA: deletion of the phrase 'the student instance started after the 2008 RAE' as a reason for the supervisor not having been allocated; addition of text 'as despite being employed by the reporting institution at the time of the most recent RAE, they were not eligible for selection' to the final bullet point. |
