English regulator costing some universities ‘over £500K a year’

Yes the cost of all this useless bureaucracy and monitoring and waste of time of useless so called quality agencies needs to be examined. Most are staffed by failed academics or useless regulators with nothing better to do than threaten academics, universities and their departments. The QAA just spawns more bureaucrats, more costs and is basically a totally useless organization. The best way to improve quality is to close it.
