University Governance and Reform: Policy, Fads, and Experience in International Perspective

By Garnet Grosjean, William Bruneau, Hans G. Schuetze

Book Overview

The fascination with the commercial value of research, coupled with the rise of neo-liberal 'new public management' in the public sector, has led to the rise of a managerial class in the university. These essays focus on the widespread use of business models and market principles that have undermined the autonomy of the professoriate.
