Concordance is necessary between university goals and regulations at every level. Goals that are general to the university must be known and attempts must made to insure that unit regulations passed for more narrow purposes do not clash with those general goals. I believe that much of the assessment ground work could be done by a few individuals. Certainly looking at the numbers of appeals is something that is done on a regular basis. Doing this part of the assessment would only require a careful analysis Simple regulations are preferred because misinterpretation is less likely.
Simple regulations are also advantageous when they leave space for student choice.
