Under the auspices of the QAA, the benchmarking statement for linguistics is shortly to undergo its scheduled revision (it was last revised in 2007). The current statement can be found on the QAA's website (http://www.qaa.ac.uk/en) or by searching for linguistics + benchmarking. If you have any comments, these can be sent to the chair of the panel, Maggie Tallerman <maggie.tallerman@ncl.ac.uk>, or to me.

It would be great if any comments would reach us before 17 September; the first meeting to discuss the statement is on the 18th. Of course, comments are also welcome at a later stage.
