The dominant issues confronting higher education are legal, economic, and technological. Each issue is the culmination of trends and developments over the past 25 years but involves a different mode or style of rational problem-solving. The differential features of legal, economic, and technical rationality are discussed and the implications of their inherent conflict are considered. The major conclusion is that each can provide only partial solutions and in doing so, may create other problems and issues. If legal, economic, and technological issues are to be resolved successfully, their peculiar forms of rationality must not be permitted to submerge the intellectual, cultural, and humanistic dimensions of education
