Agree to disagree. This is entirely in line with the language used by UUK up and down the country and fits also on to the rhetoric with which cuts in Edinburgh are rationalised. Its a good representation of a misguided management policy that imho will not help to resolve the funding crisis

The issue is not that it might look on a spreadsheet like that but I contest that this a) could even be conceived to be severed from teaching and b) that research costs should be ever considered anything else but investment, and one that should be the sector's main expenditure.

According to UUK, teaching seems to be a whole different kind of spreadsheet, not even a tab on the business calculations for the sector. Sigh.

...our modern distinction between susceptibility and suggestibility, infection and imitation, epidemiologies of the social (cf, Ross), and a 'sociology of the stars' (Tarde). Epidemic modelling took shape, I argue, as a theory of the social, at a time when contagion became a matter of biology.
