Institutions of Higher Education: Purposes and "Performance Indicators."
Barnett, R. A.
Oxford Review of Education, v14 n1 p97-112 1988
Assessing the "fitness for purpose" of institutions of higher education (IHEs), Barnett examines purposes set by institutions themselves, and those set for them by society. Focuses on purposes which are general across all institutions, stating that in demonstrating their fitness for purpose, IHEs cannot neglect their internal purposes in favor of external demands. (GEA)
