ABSTRACT
Maintenance of Standards: The first responsibility of the advisor to the institution is the maintenance of high standards of quality in all TID and related activities. What constitutes quality is a value judgment, of course, but the judgment is not without guidelines. No other single person in the university has that responsibility or could ever discharge it if it were possessed-not the student, not the committee members individually, not the dean, not the program chairperson-no one but the research advisor.
