In 2010 the UK government imposed huge cuts and market-driven
reforms on higher education. Proposals to raise undergraduate
tuition fees provoked the angriest protests for decades. This
academic year has seen the first cohort of students begin study
under the new arrangements. A proposed Higher Education Bill has
been shelved, but changes are being cemented and extended through
other means. Displaying a stunning grasp of the financial and
policy details, Andrew McGettigan surveys the emerging brave new
world of higher education. He looks at the big questions: What will
be the role of universities within society? How will they be
funded? What kind of experiences will they offer students? Where
does the public interest lie? Written in a clear and accessible
style, The Great University Gamble outlines the architecture of the
new policy regime and tracks the developments on the ground. It is
an urgent warning that our universities and colleges are now open
to commercial pressures, which threaten to transform education from
a public good into a private, individual financial investment.
