Summary

"The universities have for many years been a centre of public controversy in New Zealand, as elsewhere. much is spent on them; much is expected of them. If they are communitise of scholars, how are they to be publicly accountable? How are their activities best regulated? If academic freedom is threatened, or even lost, can they still perform their tasks of teaching, research and community service?Confronting these qusetions, the governments of the last decade have brought about major changes in the universities, as in so many other areas of New Zealand life. This book describes those changes. Its account of the university reforms is uniquely detailed in its documentation; and it not only provides the university viewpoint but also shows the action unfolding within the political and parliamentary process."--Publisher's description.
