Louise Morley reveals some of the hidden transcripts behind quality assurance and poses significant questions such as: What signs of quality in higher education are being performed and valued? What losses, gains, fears and anxieties are activated by the procedures? Is the culture of excellence resulting in mediocrity? managerialism, the costs of quality assurance, collegiality, peer review, gender and equity implications, occupational stress, commodification and consumer values in higher education, performativity, league tables, benchmarking, increasing workloads and the long-term effects on the academy.
