HESA Takes on Louis Theroux for some Weird Weekends

Exciting news from Cheltenham, home of the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). In a showbiz scoop they've managed to secure the services of disarmingly faux naif documentary film maker Louis Theroux to be their CEO. 

He's charmed American survivalists and white supremacists, Max Clifford and Jimmy Savile. What are his chances with higher education wonks? 

Any similarity to the Director of Policy at Universities UK, Paul Clark, is entirely coincidental.

Hesa Release Performance Indicator Data

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (Hesa) have published performance indicator data for 2008-09. Fascinating stuff (or is it just me??): look in particular at the Research Outputs spreadsheet: you could spend hours comparing QR, grants per FTE, total grants and contracts, and staff spend. It's all there.
