Regarding the second strategy, the selective funding policy was to separate the council funds allocated for teaching from those for research. The latter is highly based on institutional performance in research assessment exercises
(RAE). The selectivity policy, according to Becher and Kogan (1992), heralded the strong stratification of universities and basic units’ and ‘exemplified the centre’s growing determination to plan, through stratification, and to demand accountability’ (p. 60). Linking quality assessments of research directly to funding creates a very different funding environment.
Universities take any measures, overt and covert, to achieve high ratings in the RAE in order to attract research funding. As Trow (1996) observes, an ironical situation appears; ‘the more severe and detailed accountability obligations, the less can they reveal the underlying realities for which the universities are being held accountable’ (p. 313).
