Cheng, Joseph Y. S.

Higher Education, v30 n3 p257-71 Oct 1995

A discussion of higher education in Hong Kong looks at the current economic context, government and public support, rapid expansion and its effect on academic and faculty hiring standards, and issues related to Hong Kong's change in political status in 1997, including emigration patterns, faculty morale, and finance and censorship concerns. Emerging links with Chinese universities are also noted. (MSE)
