Institutional Changes and the Expansion of Flexible Forms of Employment in Higher Education: The Case of Greek Universities
Nikolaidis, Evangelos; Maroudas, Leonidas
Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, v11 n3 p127-145 Jul 2013
Extensive institutional changes and restructuring are taking place in higher education within the context of the new managerialism's ideological principles and administrative practices aimed at the fulfilment of the goals of the neoliberal political dominance. These changes involve the massification of universities, along with the reduction of government spending and the expansion of cooperation with the private sector to ensure financial resources. As a result, these changes in EU and Greek higher education alter their objectives and the character of the academic labour process, and adversely affect the functioning of universities and the cohesion within the academic community.
