The change from a period of expansion with recurrent grant linked to student number targets to a period when Government policy towards universities is “expenditureled” has meant that new approaches have to be made to university planning. The attempt by some universities to undertake major internal reviews of their activities is examined together with the criteria applicable to quality assessment. The article then outlines an alternative approach combining short term planning with longer term strategic objectives, which may be more appropriate in the 1980s. |
