This report from UK think tank HEPI looks at the growing responsibility that boards of higher education institutions have on issues of academic quality.

A new report from the Higher Education Policy Institute, Why it is time for university governors to do more on academic quality (HEPI Policy Note 36), notes the growing responsibility that boards of higher education institutions have on issues of academic quality. The report, which focuses mainly on England, calls on governors to reflect on their understanding of academic life to ensure effective oversight of teaching and learning.
