Academic Oligarchy and Higher Education Research. Implications for the Reform of Institutions of Higher Education in Austria.
Leitner, Erich
Higher Education Policy, v12 n1 p27-40 Mar 1999
Describes the higher education reform discussion in Austria which led to major system reorganization in 1993. It is noted that a previous academic oligarchy played a central role because a high proportion of university faculty also served in the parliament. Research on higher education played little part in reform because few studies were available. (MSE)
