Remaking Universities: Continuing Reform of Higher Education
Chapter 1 Why University Reform Is Needed
3. Recommendations of the Universitu Council and Systemic Reforms
(4) Introduction of a Self-Monitoring and Self-Evaluation System


Continuous self-monitoring and self-evaluation are vital both as a means of revitalizing universities and improving educational and research activities and as a way of ensuring that universities fulfill their social responsibilities. This need was reflected in the explicit inclusion in the June 1991 amendment of the Standards for the Establishment of Universities of a provision requiring universities to strive to maintain self-evaluation systems for their educational and research activities. Similar self-monitoring and self-evaluation requirements were established for graduate schools, junior colleges, colleges of technology, and special training colleges.

Universities and other institutions are now striving to meet society's expectations of higher education by implementing wide-ranging reforms in response to the reports of the University Council and systemic changes and other measures based on those reports. Chapter 2 examines the nature of the university reform process that has been initiated.
