In 1997, the university was threatened by the QAA Quality Assurance Agency with closure, as its quality standards became eroded and students were able to progress without resits or examinations taking place. This crisis led to a complete overhall of the quality of provision at the university, and in 1998 the QAA stepped in. http://www.qaa.ac.uk/reviews/reports/institutional/TVU/tvu.asp Since then, the university has invested heavily in improving its quality of provision.
