Well, I've always thought it's A Bit Weird, tbh, but I can see the point in that the teaching skills used across the board and the teaching excellence stuff are probably transferable across the subjects. I think my worry is that on a board like that, historians would be in the majority, and asking people with a specialism in Victorian Germany to think about Athens is... well... a bit less rigorously sound. I've also noticed that the HEA subject centre seems to be quite good at actually making a difference in what they put out for classicists vs what they put out for the other two fields, so they can target all their audiences quite well - and, again, I don't feel that lumping them all together in the research assessment exercise serves the purpose of the exercise at all.
