In the days when most European universities were controlled by churches or governments, their goals were set by those institutions. Today, universities are essentially self-governing, but that freedom has brought a host of questions about their very purpose. In this volume, a diverse group of contributors examines such questions in depth. Does substantial government support carry with it accountability to politicians? How should universities select their students and do they have a social duty to widen their admissions? As government support grows more precarious, answers to these questions become increasingly important, and ´´Whose University Is It?´´ will be invaluable to both politicians and educators as they look to the future.
