The Syndrome of the Holy Degree: Critical Reflections on the Staff Development in Estonian Universities.
Tomusk, Voldemar
Higher Education Management, v7 n3 p385-97 Nov 1995
Policy concerning faculty training and development in Estonian universities is examined, looking at current practices in comparison with those of the former Soviet Union. It is argued that since democratization there is little effort and some resistance to faculty renewal, despite new labels given to academic qualifications. University privatization is predicted as a result. (MSE)
