Talk Title: How Not to Fix Our Public Universities: An Overview of the American Case
Fiscal austerity and other public sector changes are encouraging governments around the world to look to the private sector and private funding for the next round of university development. The United States has been on this path for thirty years, and there is abundant evidence on the effects of what some call privatization. The talk will review this evidence, show how the U.S. system is caught in a negative feedback loop, and suggest the need for paradigm shifts in funding methods and public missions.
