RAE to be scrapped

.
Guardian - Education, (March 2006)

Abstract

A unique British institution was sentenced to the axe this afternoon - though few in the Commons or outside realised it from Gordon Brown's rapid-fire delivery. The research assessment exercise (RAE) - a gargantuan exercise in which every active researcher in every university in the UK is painstakingly assessed by panels of other academics - is to go. The next RAE in 2008 will be the last as part of the chancellor's attempt to "radically simplify" the method of distributing research funding to universities.
