Fiona Margetts; Stephen Jonathan Whitty; Brad Taylor – Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, 2024
University governing bodies, especially academic boards, play a crucial role in policy formation. However, due to the predominance of managerial values over academic values in the policy-making process, a persistent divide exists between policy formulation and implementation.
