Responding to students expectations - Organization for Economic Co-operation; Development. (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Developpment, 2002)
Universities are institutions with multiple roles, and must balance the needs and demands of their students with the expectations placed upon them by governemt, industry and the wider community. Such a balance must be struck in the face of increasing pressure on university budgets. Effective action to meet student expectations therefore poses major management challenges for universities. This volume arises from two seminars, held in Brisbane and Paris respectively, to examine some of the key issues facing universities as they confront these challenges. It offers perspectives and experience drawn from contributors from Australia, Europe and Canada, including the views of student leaders.
