Description:

This volume explores the impact of expansion, diversification and revised expectations on the university curriculum. It examines the dilemmas and opportunities faced by managers; the impact upon the expectations and quality of life of academics and support staff, students and other stakeholders; and makes practical proposals for the restoration and maintenance of the academic community. It draws upon the experience of institutional heads, teachers and union officials in addressing a key dilemma: how to recover and nurture a sense of common purpose between those who manage and those who deliver a curriculum which is itself under social and economic pressure. Managing the University Curriculum is an authoritative analysis of the changing context, of the interests and concerns of stakeholders, and of how - practically - the curriculum can act as a source of renewal.
