Chapter Chapter 2 in Crisis Response in Higher Education, 2022, pp 25-40 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract On the basis of the theoretical template of universities in society, this chapter outlines the evolution of higher education in the UK. The chapter shows the way in which British universities have been shaped in the interplay between academic, political and economic forces in recent decades, and how the adopted model of university governance has exposed them to vulnerabilities that ensue in periods of rapid ruptures in society. The chapter pays particular attention to the responses that have unfolded to the COVID-19 pandemic but also more generally to how universities have balanced the orientation to global templates with that of societal expectations.
