The marketisation of higher education is a growing worldwide trend.
Increasingly, market steering is replacing or supplementing
government steering. Tuition fees are being introduced or
increased, usually at the expense of state grants to institutions.
Grants for student support are being replaced or supplemented by
loans. Commercial rankings and league tables to guide student
choice are proliferating with institutions devoting increasing
resources to marketing, branding and customer service. The UK is a
particularly good example of this, not only because it is a country
where marketisation has arguably proceeded furthest, but also
because of the variations that exist as Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland increasingly diverge from England. In Everything
for Sale, Roger Brown argues that the competitive regime that is
now applicable to our Higher Education system was the logical, and
possibly inevitable, outcome of a process that began with the
introduction of full cost fees for overseas students in 1980.
Through chapters including: Markets and Non-Markets The
Institutional Pattern of Provision The Funding of Research The
Funding of Student Education Quality Assurance The Impact of
Marketisation: Efficiency, diversity and equity; He shows how the
evaluation and funding of research, the funding of student
education, quality assurance, and the structure of the system have
increasingly been organised on market or quasi-market lines. As
well as helping to explain the evolution of British higher
education over the past thirty years, the book contains some
important messages about the consequences of introducing or
extending market competition in universities' core activities of
teaching and research. This timely and comprehensive book is
essential reading for all academics at University level and anyone
involved in Higher Education policy.
