Raising the Stakes

Gambling with the Future of Universities

About this book

A comprehensive guide to the future of Australian higher education and the challenges it faces.

In this fully revised new edition, Peter Coaldrake and Lawrence Stedman probe the state of Australian higher education and its future. Their seminal analysis of the challenges faced by the higher education sector has been updated with revisions and a new chapter that addresses current policy and proposed reforms.

They argue that neither the market nor central government will be able to shape higher education in an optimal way. Facing greater competition and reduced prospects for public funding, universities themselves must provide the impetus and take responsibility for change as they adapt to complex and uncertain futures. This insightful analysis is essential reading for professionals and scholars in the field of higher education who seek to understand the forces shaping the future of universities in Australia.
