Description
Quality has become a major international issue for the academy as
higher education finds itself under increasing scrutiny from
governments, the media, and consumers concerned about receiving
greater value for their investments. This volume presents some of
the best quality assurance policies, practices, and procedures
found in five progressive countries. It offers an international set
of resources-including Web sites and other electronic resources-to
assist practitioners in achieving the goals of their own quality
assurance frameworks. The contributors emphasize that the key to
successful quality assurance programs lies in the professional
commitment of the faculty to these efforts, and shows how this is
being accomplished in the countries under review. This is the 99th
issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Institutional
Research.
