when interpreting the data.

School/department) are meant for HE respondents and the next three (Principal,
Senior management team, Department level) for FE. In the 2003 survey, this was not
made clear.

• Institutional level decision-making is cited frequently by HE respondents (90% in
2005)
• Senior management team decision-making is cited frequently by FE respondents
(83% in 2005).
