| "If there
is one generalization that can be made about the culture of the academic community, it is
that unusual value is placed on acquiring and using information. To refuse, in
principle, to investigate the results of our own actions because such an inquiry is deemed
somehow inappropriate is to display inconsistency of the highest order - a fact not lost
upon those outside higher education. Like any investigation, assessment involves
vast technical difficulties and undreamed subtleties. However, difficulties and
subtleties have hardly stopped us in other areas."
