Review :
"May well become a seminal text in the battle to save quality education." -- Anthony Smith Times Higher Education Supplement "This wonderful book should make the powers that be stop and think." -- Chris Woodhead Sunday Telegraph "'Blunkett should read this book - but he won't." -- Peter Mullen The Spectator "'A severe indictment of the current state of British universities." Oxford Magazine "'I think a serious claim could be made that it is the single most important essay published on the university system in the past twenty years." -- Mark Le Fanu Cambridge Quarterly "'The New Idea of a University is a question we ought to have debated 10 or 15 years ago and still avoid." -- John Clare Daily Telegraph "People within higher education will empathise with the disenchantment of the authors at the current state of universities in Britain." -- Richard Race British Educational Research Journal "'Perceptive, vicious, and often hilarious polemic." -- Stephen Burwood Journal of Applied Philosophy "The value of the book is in getting the reader to consider what, in the twenty-first century, the nature of a university should be. Also, to question just how a utilitarian university succeeds in adding to the nation's wealth, the basis on which huge amounds of public expenditure on higher education is justified." -- David Thompson Educational Review
