It is an institution though. With very strict rules regarding the scientific method.

  These rules are not as strict as one might think, especially when they’re tied up with people’s careers—consider the reproducibility crisis for instance.

    they ought to be, though not all people have the integrity.

    I am actually following a course right now. Self paid. It costs roughly USD 1000 to follow and is done by a renowned University. The lecturer just released an exam which is utterly unreadable. He is not a native english speaker. But there are several grammatical errors. The progression is bad, etc. He introduces non-existing terms (Like innovation application) and is incoherent. Obviously the teacher did his best. But i really think it begs a question to whether that is good enough. People should not be doing things they are not competent at.

  No, there absolutely no strict rules regarding the scientific method. At most there are conventions about the structure of papers in some journals.

    that regards form, which indeed is not a part of the institution.
