Abstract
Trust will be discussed in this chapter as a reciprocal phenomenon to be negotiated within certain parameters and honoured – here seen in the specific context of the university. Two research projects will provide rich evidence of breakdown in trust in British higher education. In the current climate, British higher education seems torn between being a provider of world-class research, an accreditor of improved functional workforce capacity and a dangerous place that requires policing. Various models of trust will be explored in the chapter in order to describe what happens on campus.
