Universities are under pressure. All over the world, their resource
environment is evolving, demands for accountability have increased,
and competition has become more intense. At the same time, emerging
countries have become more important in the global system,
demographic shifts are changing educational needs, and new
technologies threaten, or promise, to disrupt higher education.
This volume includes cutting-edge research on the causes and
consequences of such pressures on universities as organizations,
particularly in the U.S. and Europe. It provides an empirical
overview of pressures on universities in the Western world, and
insight into what globalization means for universities and also
looks at specific changes in the university environment and how
organizations have responded. The volume examines changes internal
to the university that have followed these pressures, from the
evolving role of unions to new pathways followed by students and
finally, asks about the future of the university as a public good
in light of a transformation of student roles and university
identities.
