CONCLUDING$
ANALYSES$
vescence&
of&
the&
late&
1960s,&
including&
the&
university&
movements&
(particularly&
the&
French&
May)&
and&
the&
writings&
of&
such&
authors&
as&
Freire,&
Althusser,&
and&
Illich.&
Among&
other&
things&
this&
vision&
proposed&
a&
reduction&
in&
the&
gulf&
beC
tween&
mental&
and&
manual&
work&
(and&
thereby&
the&
stratified&
social&
relations&
that&
derive&
from&
the&
division&
of&
labor)&and&
an&
integration&
of&
theoretical&
and&
practical&
knowledge.&
It&
also&
called&
for&
making&
students&
subjects—rather&
than&
objects—of&
their&
learning&
process,&
so&
that&
they&
will&
he&
active,&
critical,&
and&
creative&
citizens&
as&
well&
as&
good&
workers&
and&
to&nurture&
among&
them&
a&
comprehensive&
understanding&
of&
the&
relations&
between&
productive&
forces&
and&
the&
social,&
political,&
and&
culmral&
spheres.&
Although&
advocates&
of&
this&
viC
sion&
did&
not&
challenge&
basic&
research,&
in&
general&
they&
expressed&
a&
preference&
for&
"socially&
relevant"&
research&
that&
addressed&
the&
needs&
of&
the&
most&
marC
ginalized&
members&
of&
society&
or&
that&
contributed&
to&
the&
project&
of&
social&
transformation.&
As&
Newson&
and&
Buchbinder&
(1988)&
noted,&
these&
competing&
visions&
of&
the&
university&
are&
not&
just&
speculative&
exercises&
of&
academics.&
As&
with&
other&
viC
sions&
of&
societies&
and&
institutions,&
they&
mobilize&
people&
in&
certain&
directions&
and&
away&
from&
others.&
Moreover,&
these&
three&
visions&
invoke&
values&
(an&
imC
portant&
dimension&
of&
academic&
culture)&
that&
include&
clear&
principles&
about&
the&
purposes&
and&
ways&
of&
conceiving&
of&
the&
main&
tmiversity&
missions&
(reC
search,&
teaching,&
and&
extension)&
in&
their&
relationship&
to&
larger&
society.&
These&
visions&
are&
also&
embedded&
in&
material&
(rather&
than&
abstract)&
social&
processes&
and&
in&

structures&
of&

and&

shaped&
by&
political&
and&
economic&
forces.&
In&
turn,&
these&
forces&
are&
not&
impersonal&
but&
are&
brought&
into&
play&
through&
human&
agency.&
When&
their&
book&
was&
written,&
Newson&
and&
Buchbinder&
noted&
that&
a&
fourth&
competing&
vision,&
which&
they&
labeled&
"service&
university,"&
had&
began&
to&
emerge&
and&
gain&
prominence.&
This&
vision,&
which&
conceives&
of&
the&
univerC
sity&
as&
an&
enterprise,&
academics&
as&
entrepreneurs,&
and&
knowledge&
as&
a&
comC
modity,&
has&
been&
able&
to&
attract&
the&
attention&
of&
a&
critical&
mass&
of&
university&
actors&
and&
to&
compete&
successfully&
with&
the&
other&
three&
visions.&
Indeed,&
durC
ing&
the&
last&
decades&
such&
a&
vision&
consolidated&
and&
paralleled&
significant&
changes&
in&
the&
academic&
culture&

(Althach&

which*
in*
turn*
combines*
dynamics*
of*
"collaboration"*
and*
"competition"*
in*
the*
system*
(see*
Table*
ii.i).*
Four*
clarifications*
regarding*
the*
use*
of*
the*
term*
heteronomy$
are*
worth*
mentioning*
here.*
First,*
it*
is*
true*
that*
universities*
have*
been*
conditioned*
by*
state*
and*
private*
interests*
before.*
However,*
the*
emerging*
pattern*
constitutes*
a*
new*
structural*
and*
globalized*
model*
of*
dependency*
to*
the*
market*
and*
sub7
jection*
to*
the*
state*
that*
goes*
beyond*
the*
classic*
control*
of*
a*
specific*
insti7
mtion*
by*
a*
businessperson*
through*
endowments*
or*
donations*
and*
beyond*
conjunctural*
infringements*
on*
institutional*
autonomy*
by*
the*
government*
in*
a*
particular*
university*
or*
nation7state.*
Second,*
the*
term*
heteronomy,$
as*
used*
in*
this*
context,*
does*
not*
imply*
that*
universities*
are*
being*
(or*
are*
going*
to*
be*
in*
the*
near*
future)*
stripped*
of*
any*
vestige*
of*
institutional*
autonomy.*
It*
rather*
indicates*
that*
this*
space*
is*
being*
reduced,*
or*
gradually*
taken*
over*
if*
you*
pre7
fer,*
by*
external*
powers*
that*
are*
increasingly*
capable*
of*
imposing*
their*
own*
logic*
and*
interests.*
It*
is*
not*
so*
much*
that*
the*
university*
is*
operated*
by*
nonacademic*
actors*
as*
that*
its*
daily*
practices*
(its*
functions,*
internal*
organi7
zation,*
activities,*
structure*
of*
rewards,*
etc.)*
are*
subsumed*
into*
the*
logic*
im7
posed*
by*
the*
state*
and*
by*
the*
market.*
Third,*
heteronomy*
is*
an*
abstract*
con7
cept,*
and*
hence*
its*
application*
to*
the*
analysis*
of*
a*
specific*
reality*
should*
be*
appropriately*
contextualized.*
Finally,*
the*
transition*
to*
the*
heteronomous*
university*
is*
not*
a*
smooth,*
linear,*
and*
consensual*
process*
that*
is*
welcomed*
by*
all*
members*
of*
the*
academic*
community;*
this*
process*
is*
usually*
obstructed*
by*
the*
resistance*
of*
those*
who*
espouse*
alternative*
visions*
of*
the*
university.*
It*
would*
take*
more*
space*

this#

As#
a#
result,#
today#
the#

tributes#
almost#
half#

The#
study#

that#
the#

has#
led#
to#
the#
concealment#
of#
scientific#

about#
the#
safety#
and#
efficacy#
of#

A#
related#

is#
that#
university#

may#
have#
a#
finan=

in#
the#

a#
situation#
that#
provides#
fertile#
soil#
for#
conflicts#
of#

In#
some#
fields,#
for#
instance,#
biomedical#
research,#
nearly#
one#
in#
four#
scientists#
has#
financial#

to#
industry,#and#
more#
than#
two=thirds#

in#

biomedical#

(Bekelman,#
Li,#
and#

2003).#
This#
does#
not#
prove#
that#
the#
potential#
conflict#
of#

influences#
the#

if#

Jerome#
Kassirer#
(former#

of#
the#
New$

Journal$
of$
Medicine$
who#
currently#
teaches#
at#

has#
noted,#
physicians#

often#

for#
the#

their#

or#
they#
go#
on#
to#
join#
their#
advisory#
hoards#
(Kassirer#
2005).#
As#
a#
result#
of#
all#
this,#
there#
is#
a#
general#
concern#
that#
the#
heteronomous#
university#
can#
gradually#
lead#
to#
the#
erosion#
of#
the#
academic#
environment#
and#
the#
ascendance#
of#

Schugurensky (2006) further explained that the neoliberal economic reform has drastically reshaped the educational landscape of India specifically the higher education sector by shifting egalitarian commitments in education. It provides programs covering high-private benefits and fewer social benefits. ...

Neoliberalism is currently the most prevalent political philosophy across the world. It is a term used to describe the 20th-century resurgence of 19th-century ideas associated with free-market capitalism. The typical policies associated with neoliberalism include free trade, globalization, privatization, and changes in government spending to stimulate the private sector. This paper aims to better understand the reasons for this neoliberal turn in higher education and explore the visible and invisible ramifications of this paradigm shift in the policies for higher education in India. The paper focuses on the origins and meaning of neoliberalism, its application and practice in higher education, as well as the issues and critiques that have been raised in this context. The author offers both a critique of the neoliberal paradigm of marketized education and a challenge to academics to act as public intellectuals, both individually and with civil society organizations, to establish a counter-hegemonic discourse to neoliberalism for higher education. The paper concludes that neoliberal education reforms have made higher education much more diverse and have given rise to more learning opportunities; however, in India, which has enshrined systemic inequalities, neoliberalism has further reinforced existing inequalities, and public universities have lost their autonomy and led to knowledge capitalism.

... However, instead of eliminating privileges for "freeloaders", such collaborations have created a new set of privileges for (corporate) actors in the military-industrial-academic complex. These private actors-unbeholden to any notion of the public good or wider social responsibilities-have in turn been able to leverage their funding capacities and therefore outsource the risk of research and development (R&D) to publicly subsidized universities, while privatizing the benefits (Mazzucato, 2011;Palumbo & Scott, 2018;Schugurensky, 2006). A prime example of this is the US Bayh-Dohl Act (1980) that allowed inventions discovered with public funds to be patented for private gain (Irzik, 2007). ...

This open access book explores creative and collaborative research methods within the social sustainability sciences. The term co-creativity is used in reference to both individual methods and overarching research approaches that, through socially inclusive forms of action and reflection, stimulate alternative understandings of why and how things are, and how they could be. Supported by a wide-ranging series of in-depth—including chapters on militant research and guerrilla narrative, decolonial participative approaches, appreciate inquiry and care-ethics, deep-mapping, photo-voice, community-arts, digital participatory mapping, and living labs—the edited collection critically reviews the potential of creative, collaborative and transdisciplinary forms of research praxis to nurture just and transformative processes of change. This includes considering the role of narrative, creative workshops, visual and arts-based forms of research in contributing to engaged scholarship, as well also as a range of methods from field of critical cartography. The positionality of the researcher, together with the emotional and embodied dimensions of ‘doing’ transdisciplinary research are threads which run throughout the collection. So too does the question of how to communicate sustainability science research in meaningful way.

This chapter aims to put creative methods into the context of wider trends in university institutions. As managerialism—here understood as the application of corporate values and practices into all sectors of society—continues to play a large role in the production and creation of knowledge, we argue that creative methods have the potential to either subvert or reinforce these trends. We see the entrenchment of managerialism as contradictory to the stated aims of the application of creative methods in knowledge production. In an attempt to avoid this, we provide a picture and discuss the institutional framework in which creative methods are deployed to understand and critique the values and practices of managerialism in academia. We point towards the constraints it places on those who wish to take a creative approach. First, we provide an historical accounting of how managerial values have contributed to de-politicization in the wider public sphere, with a particular focus on academia. Second, we outline the fundamental properties of the managerial university, summarized as: (i) accountability, (ii) competition, and (iii) obedience. Third, we sketch out a definition of forced creativity and illustrate two applied cases of how it might look in practice: “artwashing” and “funding tricks”. This section is meant to contribute to defining “truly” creative methods by spelling out what they are not. Finally, we summarize our main points and provide future directions of discussion.
... Although the goal of higher education for participants in this study is still workforce development and the generation of knowledge, as the neoliberal model of higher education suggests (Schugurensky, 2005), participants in our study favored national and local needs for the development of their countries void of notions around global competition. We did not find references to corporations, multinationals, and global markets, terms that are common in the neoliberalism writing centered on developed countries (Altbach, 2016;Ayers, 2005;Boron, 2006;Saunders & Blanco-Ramirez, 2017;Slaughter & Rhoades, 2004). ...

Using critical discourse analysis (CDA), we explored how educational leaders and policymakers in Mexico, Peru, Chile, and Argentina address complex issues while responding to – and in fact, developing – broader understandings (discourses) on the role of higher education in Latin America. Fairclough’s (1993) theory of discourse underscores that language is a social practice, socially and historically situated, and encompassing social identities, relations, and systems of knowledge and beliefs. Therefore, discourses, which are represented by all kinds of texts, exercise power because they can produce, reproduce, and transform social structures, including education policy. This study uncovers the nuances of the tensions that globalized discourses such as neoliberalism in particular face when met with national and local needs in Latin American higher education. These tensions need to be addressed in order to design policies that could effectively close the equity gap in the region amidst massification and the uncontrolled proliferation of private universities in many countries, offering access to underserved students to higher education but of questionable quality. This study suggests research like this is important in order to understand how discourses that are deemed global play out at national and local levels and possibly, to uncover alternatives to the status quo.
... 107 In contrast, ministries of trade and commerce, national and transnational associations of industries in developed and a few developing countries, 'Friends of Private Education Export Groups', multinational companies (whom Verger, 2009b: 393, found to be less aware of the passionate debates on the GATS and its effects on education), the WTO, and other supranational organizations are all strongly in favour of the GATS and trade in education. The World Bank, the International Finance Corporation, the OECD, and the European Commission favour it and are extending support for expanding private investments in education and the international education markets (Rhoads and Slaughter, 2006;Schugurensky, 2006). ...
... In Schugurensky's (2006) view, academic capitalism has transitioned higher education away from enjoying relative autonomy, to a situation where it is subject to "…external controls and impositions…[with the distinguishing characteristic of]…a university agenda [that] is increasingly conditioned by market demands and state imperatives" (p. 306). ...
Thesis

Accountability pressures are substantial and growing in higher education. Regional accreditors have assimilated the language and purpose of assessment as part of the reviewing cycle for re-accreditation with the intention of making institutions more responsive in demonstrating improvement of student learning outcomes. Despite this, educational leaders across the nation describe the results of assessment efforts at their institutions to be of secondary importance to the need to comply with the requirement that assessment take place. Furthermore, leaders remark that faculty participation in assessment efforts falls below expectations. Nationally, assessment efforts do not seem to contribute to the improvement of student learning outcomes. There does not appear to be a closing of the assessment loop, which is necessary to improve student learning outcomes. Although this has been described as a dichotomy between assessment for accountability and assessment for improving student learning outcomes, the phenomenon has largely gone unexamined in research. This study follows a case study approach to explore how three institutions of higher education used assessment to improve student learning outcomes. The three institutions were selected because they were identified as participants of the tuning and Degree Qualification Profile projects. These efforts make intensive use of assessment to improve student learning outcomes. After analyzing documents and conducting fourteen interviews with faculty and administrators from the three universities, this project presents findings organized around three major themes: (a) the extent to which assessment practice at the three institutions reflected the imperative of accountability versus the need to improve student learning outcomes; (b) the role faculty played in the implementation of assessment processes at the three institutions; and (c) the impact of tuning and the Degree Qualification Profile on assessment efforts at the three institutions. This study found multiple interpretations of assessment for student learning, suggesting that double-loop learning and second-order change was possible under certain conditions. Based on the empirical findings, different interpretations of how assessment results were used at the three institutions are discussed along with the implications of the study for practice and further research.

Academic capitalism is about how progressively more academic activity is valued according to its capacity to accumulate human, financial and corporate capital. It is on the increase in Higher Education (HE) worldwide and in this article we examine its implantation in Catalan universities. We begin with an exploration of the bigger picture, focussing on the impacts of neoliberalism on HE worldwide, leading to the arrival of the ‘toxic university,’ as part of the rise of academic capitalism. We then provide a critical account of these transformations in European universities. Against this backdrop, we examine the webpages of state-run universities in Catalonia, highlighting their relationships with the business sector. Our key finding is that academic capitalism is alive and well in the construction of a certain worldview within these universities, according to which knowledge is only valid if it is marketable, researchers are entrepreneurs and HE and research are at the service of global capitalism and neoliberal rationalities. We conclude with comments on posible remedies in the current situation, arguing that any measures taken on a local level are not likely to be transformative if nothing is done to change how the global economy functions.

The higher education has expanded dramatically during the post reform period in India. The gross attendance ratio (GAR) increased from 7.3 to 26.9% between 1995 and 2014. The most important concern vis-à-vis higher education is in terms of inequality in access, still prevalent at a worryingly high level in spite of increasing GAR among the disadvantaged groups during the recent period. The global trend suggests that higher education both in aggregate and at group levels increased only after the emergence of knowledge-based economy which resulted in massification of higher education. It is to be noted that transition of higher education from elitism to massification was accompanied with the changing role of higher education which is shifting from production of social knowledge to market knowledge. This shift is result of the changing global political economy from interventionism to laissez-faire leading to the dominance of free market forces. This paper argues that the shift in the political economic scenario resulted in private sector-led growth in India also. This led to the expansion of higher education as well as increased role of the private sector in higher education, which may adversely affect the access of the weaker section. This shift has ambivalent consequences as it is increasing the access of the weaker section in quantitative terms and reproducing inequality both in quantitative and in qualitative terms. The emerging scenario calls for increasing government role in higher education not only in terms of reducing inequality of access in quantitative terms but also in qualitative terms. The increased role of the government is indispensable in facilitating the production of social knowledge needed for social change.

The goal of this research is to reveal the relegation of the public into specific social classes based on the expectations of the capital produced in two- and four-year institutions respectively, the differences and ultimate bifurcation across class lines that replicate and reinforce an inequitable national identity, ultimately creating a discrepancy in the purpose of higher education by institution type. To uncover the varieties of roles prescribed to tertiary institutions and the resulting inequality, the discourse historical approach, a method employed by critical discourse analysts to uncover the ideological nature of language to understand the influence and power of discourse, is used to analyze 1793 texts. Texts analyzed include public speeches regarding higher education by US presidents from 1946 to 2016 and articles regarding institutional purpose from the American Association of Community Colleges and the Association of American Colleges and Universities’ respective publications which serve as representations of institution types studied.

En los últimos años se viene produciendo un incremento de los egresados que quieren acceder al mercado laboral, no existiendo un ajuste entre la oferta de puestos de trabajo acorde con las titulaciones cursadas y la demanda existente de los egresados. En este trabajo se ha realizado un estudio del mercado de los egresados en Andalucía, una de las comunidades con mayor tasa de paro en dicho nivel educativo. El estudio se realiza través de un análisis descriptivo uni y bivariante tendente a determinar las características principales de la demanda (edad, sexo, titulación cursada etc.) y las relaciones entre ambas. se intenta conocer la probabilidad de estar en paro del egresado andaluz atendiendo a sus características socio personales.

As colleges and universities become more entrepreneurial in a post-industrial economy, they focus on knowledge less as a public good than as a commodity to be capitalized on in profit-oriented activities. In "Academic Capitalism and the New Economy," higher education scholars Sheila Slaughter and Gary Rhoades detail the aggressive engagement of U.S. higher education institutions in the knowledge-based economy and analyze the efforts of colleges and universities to develop, market, and sell research products, educational services, and consumer goods in the private marketplace. Slaughter and Rhoades track changes in policy and practice, revealing new social networks and circuits of knowledge creation and dissemination, as well as new organizational structures and expanded managerial capacity to link higher education institutions and markets. They depict an ascendant academic capitalist knowledge/learning regime expressed in faculty work, departmental activity, and administrative behavior. Clarifying the regime's internal contradictions, they note the public subsidies embedded in new revenue streams and the shift in emphasis from serving student customers to leveraging resources from them. Defining the terms of academic capitalism in the new economy, this groundbreaking study offers essential insights into the trajectory of American higher education. (Contains 5 line drawings.)

We humans live by stories, says David Korten, and the stories that now govern our society set us on a path to certain self-destruction. In this profound new book, Korten shares the results of his search for a story that reflects the fullness of human knowledge and understanding and provides a guide to action adequate to the needs of our time. Korten calls our current story Sacred Money and Markets. Money, it tells us, is the measure of all worth and the source of all happiness. Earth is simply a source of raw materials. Inequality and environmental destruction are unfortunate but unavoidable. Although many recognize that this story promotes bad ethics, bad science, and bad economics, it will remain our guiding story until replaced by one that aligns with our deepest understanding of the universe and our relationship to it. To guide our path to a viable human future, Korten offers a Sacred Life and Living Earth story grounded in a cosmology that affirms we are living beings born of a living Earth itself born of a living universe. Our health and well-being depend on an economy that works in partnership with the processes by which Earth's community of life maintains the conditions of its own existence - and ours. Offering a hopeful vision, Korten lays out the transformative impact adopting this story will have on every aspect of human life and society.

A review on the role of higher education in pursuing broad societal goals is presented. In their pursuit of market advantage, colleges became dispensers of degrees rather than vibrant communities of educators who originate and debate important ideas. The future holds more privatization of public institutions, more emphasis on higher education as a private good, and less movement toward colleges as places of public discourse.

Globalization is reducing our ability to control our life chances in an increasingly interconnected world. Employing a systems-theory perspective, Hedley contends that although historically humankind has gained increasing control over its fate, the trajectory of control is now on a downward course. Paradoxically, although the primary objectives of modern globalization include greater scale, access, speed, efficiency, and predictability - or in a word, control - Hedley asserts that our greater connectedness leaves humankind more vulnerable to unforeseen risks than many systems independently organized. He produces evidence from the many system failures in the globally connected information and communications infrastructure. With an increasing human population, rising human aspirations, and growing global instability, increased human control from further technological innovation becomes less and less likely. These developments, combined with a finite global eco-environment, make ecological crises potentially more devastating. Hedley concludes by discussing various approaches and strategies to deal with the problems identified.

We all know that doctors accept gifts from drug companies, ranging from pens and coffee mugs to free vacations at luxurious resorts. But as this book exposes, these innocuous-seeming gifts are just the tip of an iceberg that is distorting the practice of medicine and jeopardizing the health of millions of Americans today. This book offers an unsettling look at the pervasive payoffs that physicians take from big drug companies and other medical suppliers, arguing that the billion-dollar onslaught of industry money has deflected many physicians' moral compasses and directly impacted the everyday care we receive from the doctors and institutions we trust most. Underscored by countless chilling untold stories, the book illuminates the financial connections between the wealthy companies that make drugs and the doctors who prescribe them. The book details the shocking extent of these financial enticements and explains how they encourage bias, promote dangerously misleading medical information, raise the cost of medical care, and breed distrust.
