Educate faculty in the need for QA and evaluation. The successful process of self-evaluation can be replicated.

We conclude by pointing out that the recommendations indicated in our report are intended as ways to improve an already excellent Institution. The culture of excellence in research and teaching that the Institution has established for itself was appreciated by every member of the EEC."
