Description

This Routledge publication examines the structural decline of contemporary universities and their diminishing role in driving social innovation. The book addresses the paradox of modern higher education: rising student dropout rates, graduates entering positions unrelated to their degrees, and widespread underperformance in learning outcomes, whilst graduate salaries decline and student debt accumulates. Universities face expanding administrative burdens and auditing requirements that divert resources from core academic and research missions. The author argues that university research contributions have stagnated as institutional bloat continues unchecked, reflecting broader societal trends toward bureaucratic inefficiency. This critical analysis reveals how universities have become mired in procedural waste and lost sight of their fundamental purpose in fostering genuine intellectual progress and addressing pressing social challenges.
