№ 4 Quality Education while “Universities lose their authority as trusted public institutions and become drawn into unwinnable culture wars.” --Steven Jones

Whether this manifests as an inappropriate enchantment with the market’s games and rewards (Smyth, 2017), a profound loss of confidence and identity (Collini, 2012), or a slow capitulation to managerialism (Morrish & Sauntson, 2019), the outcome is the same: universities lose their authority as trusted public institutions and become drawn into unwinnable culture wars.” --Steven Jones
