An almost universal driving force for contemporary change in
universities is the shifting view of higher education as more of a
private than a public good. Towards the Private Funding of Higher
Education presents a contemporary global picture of this move
towards the privatisation of higher education, and examines how
these shifts in ideology and funding priorities have significant
policy implications. The resulting developments, such as the
imposition and escalation of student tuition fees and the emergence
of online providers of higher education, emerge out of a
combination of economic, political and ideological pressures,
further enhanced by technological changes. By using multiple
international and regional examples to analyse the various
pressures for privatisation, this book examines the different forms
privatisation has taken, whilst offering an analytical
interpretation of why the privatisation drive emerged, why it has
been resisted in some instances and what forms it is likely to
assume in the future. Towards the Private Funding of Higher
Education illustrates and challenges the emergence of a new
relationship between the university, government and society. It is
an essential read for higher education professors, university
managers and higher education policy makers across the world.
