Whelan, Andrew – Australian Universities' Review, 2016
One significant, tangible and interesting challenge for the privatised university is its impedance of particular forms of effective engagement and action in teaching and research, notably with respect to inequities in the broader social context, and the position of the university within that context. In the face of significant resource constraints…

Furthermore, work on educational commodification has been substantially dissociated…
