This paper attempts to widen the scope of the review by Birch and Calvert (Vol.3, No.l) into academic staffing formulae by considering approaches based on student enrolment and by adding a further workload model which lends itself to graphical presentation. Criticisms of workload schemes are examined and comments made on the applicability of staff entitlement schemes.
