Research assessment exercises, teaching quality assessment, line management, student course evaluation, modularization, student fees - these are all names of innovations in modern British universities. How far do they constitute a significant departure from traditional academic concerns? Using some themes of Newman's classic "The Idea of a University" as a springboard, this book aims to address these questions.
Gordon Graham is Regius Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His books include The Internet: A Philosophical Enquiry (Routledge, 1999) and Genes: A Philosophical Enquiry (Routledge, 2002)
