The evaluation committees of Italian universities were originally established by Law No. 537 of Dec. 24, 1993 (Art. 5, paragraphs 22 and 23) and later elevated to collegial university bodies to be provided for at the statutory level, by Art. 1 of Law No. 370 of Oct. 19, 1999, bearing "Dispositions on Universities and Scientific Research". The latter norm assigns to the boards the evaluation functions consequent to the obligation for each university to adopt "an internal evaluation system of administrative management, teaching and research activities, and interventions in support of the right to study, verifying also through comparative analyses of costs and returns, the proper use of public resources, the productivity of research and teaching, as well as the impartiality and good performance of administrative action" .
