Originally published in 1982, this is a collection of studies by
representatives of countries in western Europe, writing about
important legislation affecting universities and showing trends of
government control over higher education. In the 1960s European
universities faced two major challenges: a rapid increase in
enrolment, with consequent expansion of staff and a growing need
for money; and a demand for changes in their governing structures
by student activists and some staff and government administrators.
Taking the widespread student agitation in 1968 as the
starting-point, the authors summarise the general history of higher
education; events of the late 1960s and 1970s and their political
and public consequences for educators; and the then current
positions of stage and private universities in their countries. In
addition, one chapter contrasts the situations in Great Britain and
the United States. Hans Daalder provides a retrospective overview
of these problems and their resolutions.
