Most Rules Run on Exceptions

The University's case for studying the exception rather than the rule.

A case-for-support brochure putting the University's research posture to partners and supporters through a single mechanism --- the note from home that excuses a school uniform, the extension granted on request, the box ticked on someone else's behalf --- and citing four of its own published studies by title and DOI as evidence that an organisation's exception pathway is where its rules actually operate.
