Accommodation
Dear University of Bath,
Please could you outline the income and expenditure from university owned accommodation over the past 10 years. Could you break this down into fees from students and non-student income such as conferences and events, and break down the expenditure onto ‘day to day running’ and capital expenditure as best you can. Could you also provide any projections you have regarding the above for the next 5 years.
Could you also outline the average cost of a room in university owned accommodation over last 10 years, and the range from the cheapest to the most expensive, and again, the projections for the next 5 years.
could you also outline The number of rooms available, and the number of students housed by university accommodation, and your projections for the next 5 years.
Finally, could you outline any agreement you have with private provision of student accommodation, such as the university ‘partnering’ with a private company to either
- Secure rooms for students directed through your accommodation services
- The management of university owned accommodation services by private companies
If you have any arrangement with a private provider which is similar in its scope to the two mentioned above, please could you outline what it is, and how many students it affects,
Yours faithfully,
Matthew Procter
Dear Mr Procter
Further to our acknowledgement, could I request clarification in relation to the following points:
(1) I have been advised that it will be very time consuming to attempt to compile 10 years' worth of historical data. Could you confirm if you'd be happy to limit request to 5 years rather than 10?
(2) By 'average' room cost are you seeking mean average or for example median room cost?
I'd be grateful if you'd clarify as requested so that the request can be progressed.
Best wishes
James
Dear James Button,
5 years is fine, and the mean is required,
Yours sincerely,
Matthew Procter
