Niche UK academia question: does anyone have experience of producing accurate figures of how grants from charities contribute to university finances across a research cycle. The usual 'cost recovery' model produces anomalies. There must be other and more holistic ways of accounting for their value.

Tony Harrison’s 1977 The Mysteries was a massive @nationaltheatre.org.uk hit that I missed. But I loved his adaptation of Victor Hugo’s Le Roi s’amuse, better known as Verdi’s Rigoletto. It was a flop but I’ve never forgotten it, esp. Richard Eyre’s staging and Bob Crowley’s set.
Tony Harrison RIP.

I’m desperately sad to hear that Tony Harrison has died. He was one of the first poets I ever saw read – in Leeds in the 1980s. But also, his was such a unique and powerful voice, and his blend of classicism and class consciousness remains potent - although he was much more than that as a poet.
