Higher education quality assurance in South Africa widens democracy or not? Response to Anneke Venter's article: student involvement and empowerment

In this response I argue that the notion of quality is embedded in the tension between powerful patterns of inherited epistemic and symbolic understanding and the dynamic of the creative, imaginative moments of understanding and design. This would take the idea of co-producer/creator of knowledge beyond the boundaries of (re) packaging commodities for the knowledge market as it would also be located in the disciplinary patterns of knowledge domains.
