Dear [pro-vice chancellor for research],\

\cf0 I write with regard to the RAE requirement that each submitting institution establishes a Code of Practice that attends to all relevant equal opportunities legislation to date. \

\cf0 I would be grateful if you could provide me with details of the progress being made on the University of \'c9 Code of Practice.  Given the ongoing use of shadow panels and RAE preparation meetings at \'c9, I would particularly welcome information about the institutional adoption of the recommendations of the Equalities Challenge Unit
\f1\i\b  
\f2\i0\b0 with regard to ensuring rigorous equality-proofing at departmental and Faculty level.  \
