Description

English universities are in crisis. In 2017 the National Audit Office found that only 32% of students consider their course 'value for money', that students from lower-income backgrounds are disproportionately attending lower ranked universities, and that there is limited price competition and a limited return to universities for improving their league standings. This book provides a concrete analysis of why the recent funding reforms did not work, using a unique combination of informed theoretical and empirical analysis and insights gained from running a university. It offers tough policy proposals concerned with how to make the market work in universities by restoring competition and fair student fees, but also traditional academic values and governance.

Author Biography:

Jefferson Frank was founding head of the Economics Department at Royal Holloway. Trained as a macroeconomist, Jeff has also extensively investigated the gender pay gap, BME and LGBTQ discrimination, inequality in the university sector, and the current funding and fees crisis. He is the author of The Responsible Economy (Routledge, 2014) and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences. Norman Gowar, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the University of London, is a former Principal of Royal Holloway. He presented the first lecture ever to be broadcast by the Open University. He co-founded the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Student Complaints and was its first Chairman. Michael Naef is Reader in Economics at Royal Holloway. He works in experimental economics using weird and wonderful substances (testosterone, estrogen, sulpiride) to see what happens. He has published widely, including in Nature and the American Economic Review.
