Fair Contest or Elite Sponsorship? Entry Settlements in Australian Higher Education.

Gale, Trevor

Higher Education Policy, v12 n1 p69-91 Mar 1999

Examines the effects of changes in provision of higher education in Australia between 1987 and 1996, focusing on the effects of expansion on college entry criteria, eligibility, and program availability. It is noted that this policy change has been characterized as an issue of fairness in competition for entry rather than as a selectivity issue. (MSE)
