Universities are being criticised for not producing adequately work-ready graduates. Universities are being criticised for the current market orientation which is reflected in the fees they charge and the high salaries paid to Vice Chancellors, Deans and others holding high office. Universities are being criticised for their bureaucracy which has led to the coining of the expression managerialism. They have been criticised for their intense focus on research which has sometimes been said to have been at the cost to their mandate to educate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, what is actually happening within universities and what is likely to happen in the future is much more nuanced than most of the criticism which is levelled that them. \u003cem\u003eUniversities are a reflection of society and thus they are always a work-in-progress, continually in need of reinventing themselves. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book, The University of the Future is a collection of views from 28 academics and other interested parties from different parts of the world.
