Quotes from Benjamin Ginsberg

Accountability measures allow administrators to require the faculty to "teach to the test," rather than devise the curriculum according to its own judgment. In this way, college professors can be reduced to the same subordinate status to which elementary and secondary school teachers have already been relegated.

Administrators often hide their mimicry under the rubric of adherence to "best practices." They can seldom offer any real evidence that the practice in question is even good, much less best.
