Is complete autonomy necessarily desirable?

Data:	1996
Resum:	The audit of systems for academic quality assurance and the assessment of the quality of education provided to students in individual subject areas are both relatively recent developments in the U. K. , which derive directly or indirectly from government pressure to make universities more accountable. This paper examines some aspects of the impact of those developments on universities and expresses the view that some of the effects have been both positive and of a kind which would not necessarily have occurred without such internal pressures. In particular it is argued that self-evaluation of teaching requires a well-informed view of other approaches to teaching elsewhere but that the networks to facilitate that rounded view of different approaches to teaching are poorly developed; assessment has benefited those networks.
