Originally published in 1987 Restructuring Universities uses Aston
University as a case study of the internal restructuring taking
place in universities. Aston lost one third of its funding in 1981
and was told to reduce its student numbers by one fifth within
three years. The university has a balanced financial budget, well
oversubscribed courses, and the average A level scores of entrants
are over the national average in all subjects taught. The books
looks at the ways in which the university dealt with rapid change,
looking particularly at the decision making processes within the
university and the ways in which internal power and politics
influenced decisions made. Previous models of decision making are
discussed and a new political model outlined. The book provides a
useful and informed analysis of the context, politics and
management of change in the university system.
