Abstract
The late twentieth century witnessed a series of profound transformations in higher education. These have included the reorganisation of the governance and management of institutions, the increasing globalisation of education provision, the impact of new technology on delivery and content, and the increasing marketisation of higher education in a context of tighter resources for public expenditure (Neave, 2000).
