• W932765320 abstract "In an article published in the online magazine The Conversation, Professor Simon Marginson, formerly at the Centre for the Study of Higher Education, University of Melbourne, and now at the Institute of Education, University of London, made a few interesting remarks about the current state of Australian higher education - remarks that would surely make many a senior administrator wince. 'In the current policy context', Marginson asserts:... world class universities are not those who provide the best programs or educate the most diverse set of citizens. They are not necessarily the most intellectually creative or far sighted institutions, and are not the most socially equitable. Nor are they those that best address the common problems of humanity. World class universities pump out the most global science, attract and hold the top scientists, generate lucrative research applications for industry, and lead in the rankings. For better or worse that is the present global standard (Marginson 2013).Elsewhere, Marginson (2011) has questioned the neoliberal values of modernisation and economic enrichment that now drive university policies, and asserted that in real terms university education is somewhat less than golden: 'Universities have lost rationale, and need to reground themselves in the social ... If higher education is emptied out of its public purposes we can no longer justify its survival. The 21st century University needs to redefine itself as a creator, protector and purveyor of public goods'.We could of course spend a lot of time debating what is meant by 'the social' and 'public goods' but reading between the lines Marginson seems to be arguing that the modern university's links to the ideological imperatives of economic growth, GDP, productivity and so forth have dramatically altered how educators, students, administrators and policy makers think about higher education. In contrast, Marginson's reference to the public good infers a utilitarian world view that takes stock of more than business and balance sheets and instead thinks more expansively about the health, welfare and wellbeing of citizens both in this country and beyond. His call is for a return to the 'social', rather than continued immersion in the economic.But if we are to have a meaningful debate about the future of universities both in Australia and elsewhere (because globally, universities are looking very similar in terms of policy directions and pedagogical practice) then this needs to be driven by academics, students and the broader public who, collectively, have serious concerns over the current direction taken by Australian universities. Many want to reclaim universities from oneeyed market triumphalists who regard higher education as nothing more than a product to be traded on the open market. However, as I'm going to suggest, there's a long way to go before any such meaningful dialogue can occur. With academics caught in a web of client-service relations, and variously reporting increased levels of work intensification, over-regulation, excessive top-down administration, less collegiality, discontent and ill health, then it's difficult to see over the corporate parapet at this juncture.But before I am accused of harking back to the grey elitist past, or of being the purveyor of terminal misery let me say this: of course universities are incredibly complex, diverse and fascinating places. They are comprised of over 1.2 million students, 55,000 full-time equivalent academics and a vast pool of 67,000 largely marginalised casual employees. Universities generate billions of dollars in revenue and employ many talented and even brilliant teachers, scholars and researchers who, as research by the Centre for the Study of Higher Education (2001) shows, are committed and passionate about their work. Universities also continue to produce thousands of knowledgeable, highly skilled and adaptable graduates who make significant contributions in various walks of life. …" @default.
