Book Synopsis

Research assessment exercises, teaching quality assessment, line management, staff appraisal, student course evaluation, modularization, student fees these are all names of innovations (and problems) in modern British universities. How far do they reflect a more conscientious approach to the effective promotion of higher education, and how far do they constitute a significant departure from traditional academic concerns and values? Using some themes of Cardinal Newman''s classic The Idea of a University as a springboard, this extended essay aims to address these questions.
