Despite historic ties, universities have generally enjoyed relative freedom from state control until the coming of the post-war era. In this collection of writings, Professor John Kersey, who is President of European-American University and an established consultant with over 1,000 expert opinions on international credentials submitted for use before the US government, looks both at the mechanisms by which this freedom has been eroded and considers the theory and practice of the independent private sector university today. This bookcexamines its subject in significant depth, is written accessibly to introduce the reader to a range of complex issues necessary for the understanding of the relationship between universities and the state. It makes a powerful case both for university freedom and for allied individual freedom in tertiary education through the use of distance and non-traditional educational methodologies.
