Why to have quality oriented management ?

Academicians resist to quality and accreditation because there are many processes and bureaucracy. SAU use different information systems for different purposes. In order to reduce bureaucracy and integrate these systems, we developed a web-based quality management system to support the university management model holistically. This system is called SABİS (Sakarya University Information Management System). CHALLENGES & OUR SOLUTIONS

 Only Administrative driven  More work for faculty  An infringement on academic freedom  A reductive approach to measuring learning  An attempt to judge individual faculty members' teaching styles  A burden on students
