In your league

I am disappointed at the continuing failure of The THES to reflect a full and accurate picture of higher education in its league tables (May 9).

Although you include some (but not all) of the higher education colleges with degree-awarding powers in your overall tables, I am dismayed that this year you have not included any higher education colleges or specialist institutions in the subject tables. In previous years, at least the subject tables in The THES had included all higher education institutions. This year's departure is a retrograde step.
