Governance Model
As well as a description of the allocation of responsibilities, duties and powers, the governance model of the UvA also includes a description of the governance of teaching and participation in decision-making.
It is important not only to clearly describe these responsibilities, duties and powers, but also that all those involved act accordingly. Only then can managers be held accountable and will there be a true culture of quality.
For a well-functioning quality assurance cycle, it is essential that everyone in the University knows who is responsible at what level, and which duties and powers have been delegated throughout the organisation.
