Financial pressures have contributed to ever-increasing demands for accountability. The privatisation of public higher education and the expansion of private academic institutions in many countries have changed the configuration of academe. Questions about the relevance of much of academic research have been linked to demands that professors teach more—accountability and evaluation are central themes of contemporary higher education. The new technologies and distance education are beginning to impact upon the academic profession. The traditional high status of the professoriate has been diminished by unrelenting criticism in the media and elsewhere. This chapter provides a discussion of the problems facing the contemporary university and the way they affect the academic profession. This discussion is presented in a comparative and international context because similar issues affect higher education worldwide. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
