Governance

Governance protects the evidence record.

University Evidence separates review status from payment, institutional preference, and automated pressure so public claims can be evaluated on their source support.

How independence is protected

University Evidence reviews evidence items against published standards and keeps commercial relationships separate from review decisions.

Payment does not determine review status

Payment does not buy favorable wording, status, suppression of accurate context, rankings influence, certification, or endorsement.

Verification applies to evidence items

Review status describes whether a specific claim is supported as written. It does not rate, certify, or endorse an institution.

Corrections are part of the record

Corrections, disputes, superseded wording, and updated sources help readers understand how a claim changed and what evidence supports it now.

Technology-assisted review is governed

Technology may assist with extraction, comparison, and drafting, but review status is assigned only through University Evidence’s governed review process.
