The University of Hong Kong

The English sector regulator has announced <a data-mz="" data-module="podcast-body" data-position="body" href="https://www.timeshighereducation.com/depth/does-tefs-latest-iteration-deserve-gold-rating">sweeping changes to how the Teaching Excellence Framework will operate</a>, and it’s fair to say the sector response to these new proposals has been mixed.
The new rules would entail tougher sanctions for poorly performing universities, and a poor TEF score could result in cuts to student numbers or more regular assessments.
The Office for Students has said that it wants to renew trust in a sector facing mounting public scrutiny but institutions have said they feel anxious about new rules amid other competing pressures.&nbsp;Smaller and more specialist institutions are worried that they could be disadvantaged by a less rounded approach to measuring quality.&nbsp;
According to reporter Georgia Luckhurst, who covers teaching and student issues for Times Higher Education, universities would like to see more support and clarity on how they will be judged according to the new metrics.
Times Higher Education Asia reporter Rosalind Skillen talks to Georgia about the anxieties in the sector, whether this new framework will change the relationship between the regulator and universities, and what this means for university governance as a whole.&nbsp;&nbsp;
