| Comment | They are, to be eligible for a lot of the SFC funding they receive. There's details about the sorts of funding they get via the SFC here: [https://www.sfc.ac.uk/funding/university-funding/university-funding.aspx](https://www.sfc.ac.uk/funding/university-funding/university-funding.aspx)
The Outcome Agreements (basically the agreement of what their metrics are) and the final funding allocation can be seen here: [https://www.sfc.ac.uk/funding/outcome-agreements/outcome-agreements.aspx](https://www.sfc.ac.uk/funding/outcome-agreements/outcome-agreements.aspx)
The SFC funds a lot of stuff, like capital maintenance and research. It makes up a really big chunk of what education establishments actually get.
