Published: 01 Jul 2003

This volume draws together a number of senior academic managers to prepare a series of detailed institutional case-studies. These case-studies identify the nature of the crisis, describe the action taken to put it right, and consider the lasting consequences. An important chapter gives the informed perspectives of the funding council on higher education crises and the final chapter draws a series of significant conclusions.
