The Economics of the Open University Revisited

Wagner, Leslie

Higher Education, 6, 3, 359-81, Aug 77

An analysis of developments at the Open University since 1973 indicates that there has been little reduction in average cost in real terms and that no improvement is likely on known developments to 1979. Reasons for this are explored, and suggestions for improving the situation are offered. (Editor/LBH)
