Higher Education--Tensions and Balance.

Karmel, Peter

Journal of Tertiary Educational Administration, v12 n2 p328-37 Oct 1990

Higher education institutions must find a balance between their internal mission and external forces in governance, autonomy, quality vs. quantity in research, curriculum breadth, curiosity-motivated vs. mission-oriented research, excellence vs. equality, and academic freedom vs. ideological conformity. Each institution will resolve these dilemmas in a different way. (MSE)
