Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
This book explores the development of the collegial tradition within the context of
mass higher education. Although the collegial tradition has been determined above
all by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, in its various forms it has found
sustenance in many different systems and institutions of higher education. Most critical
are the integral values and practices that shape both institutional governance and
the pursuit of teaching, learning and research ; This book examines the contemporary
pressures to which models of higher education have to respond. Within this broad context
the book analyses the challenges that the collegial tradition faces and how, within
differing national systems, it is responding to those challenges. The underlying purpose
is to ask the question whether the collegial tradition is intrinsic to the idea of
the university. Will it survive and, if so, in what form? --Book Jacket
