A university of the people: A history of the university of Western Sydney
Notes1. I have however remained in touch with UWS and former UWS colleagues and followed events in subsequent years. I am grateful to Dr. Allen Barlow, who left UWS to work with the Western Sydney Institute of TAFE, for his continuing interest and critical reading of an earlier draft of this review.2. Such a study could be linked to that of the dual sector [higher education (HE) and technical and further education or TAFE] universities that have …

Critical comments
Is there an Australian Idea of a University
This paper considers the idea of a university as it exists and is discussed in Australia at the beginning of the 21st century. Australia's history and partly derivative culture provide the relatively unintellectual context for sceptical utilitarianism in relation to a system which has expanded rapidly and is frequently described as being in crisis. Resource constraints and pressures to marketise and become more entrepreneurial have increased mana…

The morning after the millennium: Building the long-haul learning university
Lifelong learning remains a powerful and valid concept important for the evolution of higher education and the university in the changing context of globalization, 30 years after its first popularization around 1970. Like the related concept of the learning society, it suffers trivializing fashion and reductionism. As we move into a phase of universal tertiary education, it is all the more necessary to understand how to enable universities to bec…
Networks and Managerialism: Field-testing competing paradigms
Australian universities under stress are pulled between competing paradigms of managerialism and networking. External pressures towards homogenisation contradict the national requirement for higher education system diversity. Managing complexity requires a degree of self-confidence which reinstates collegiality and administration above managerialism and enables the institution effectively to engage with its local-global environment. This paper dr…
Equal Opportunity versus Elitism? Culture Change in a New ‘Old University’
This paper examines aspects of the experience of a male University Pro‐Vice‐Chancellor with responsibilities for equal opportunity (EO). It reflects upon attitudes within the university and efforts at equalizing opportunity; on some practical obstacles; and on some devices used to promote EO. This responsibility is anchored and explained in the context of an interest in organization development, organization culture, and the management of innovat…

The Learning University: Towards a New Paradigm
Old assumptions and new practices change and higher education - the new discourse missions, aims and objections - what may be new? out of the box - continuing education university-wide finishing school or service station - what mix? access, quality and success - old and new criteria staff development and organizational learning the fallacy of the ivory tower
Re‐vision and adaptation in post‐compulsory education in Australia
Distinctive features of Australian society and its education system are considered, including the use and meanings of terms in common currency. Evolution of the system of post‐compulsory education, including ages 16‐19 education, continuing education and training within employment, is traced through the period from the 1950s to the 1980s, with particular attention to the series of governmental reports and reviews. Issues and options facing the sy…

Adult Education: International Perspectives from China
Continuing education trends and policy implications
Two major Advisory Council for Adult and Continuing Education (ACACE) reports address respectively the need for new policies for continuing education (ACACE 1982/1985), and the work of the recently emerging Educational Guidance Services for Adults (EGSAs) (Butler et al. 1984). The context of these two reports differs from that of the most recent major policy review of adult education, the Russell report (DES 1973); the social, political and econo…
