尽管学者们致力于研究和教学的质量，但他们继续抵制大学内部的质量保证程序。这一明显的悖论反映了围绕权力、定义和效力问题的一系列争议。本文报道了一项对来自澳大利亚10所大学的30名学者的研究，并详细介绍了他们对各自大学质量保证过程的反应和批评。有人认为，在大学管理层、大学质量机构和大学的学术人员就这个有争议的概念--质量--达成共识之前，学术界将继续抵制质量过程，将其视为需要玩的游戏和需要灌输的制度。
Academics, although committed to quality in research and teaching, continue to resist quality assurance processes within their universities. This apparent paradox reflects a series of disputes surrounding issues of power, definition and efficacy. This article reports on a study of 30 academics from 10 Australian universities and details their responses to, and critiques of, quality assurance processes in their universities. It is argued that until university management, university quality agencies and academic staff in universities draw on mutually agreed understandings of this contested concept-quality-academics will continue to resist quality processes, treating them as games to be played and systems to be fed.
