The lack of an intensity measure could dent confidence in the outcome of the research assessment exercise
It is critically important for the sector, therefore, that all stages of the process have unquestionable integrity.

- transparency, clarity and collective agreement among stakeholders
- All three now appear to be at risk after the decision not to publish the proportion of eligible staff entered for assessment at each university

- the raw scores achieved by departments will be "meaningless" if there is no indication of what proportion of staff were entered. "(The omission) has serious implications for academics as individuals and for equality of opportunity,"
- data that could have been used as a proxy for the missing submissions data
- Hesa's board last week agreed to supply proxy measures alongside the RAE 2008 results. This week, however, Hesa said that it could not supply these data by 18 December.
