A Policy Case Study

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In 1985 the Australian Government announced a
momentous policy initiative allowing Australian
universities to enrol full-fee paying international
students. This case study is an analysis of the
political and economic factors that lead to this
initiative and the policy development that ensued at
Murdoch University in Western Australia between 1985
and 1991as it responded to this opportunity to
alleviate pressing problems with finance and low
student numbers that were threatening its very
existence as an independent university. New,
streamlined procedures, and the devolution of
policy-development to small, semi-autonomous
committees, enabled the University to develop
procedures for a program for full-fee paying
international students at the beginning of 1987. The
continued success of the program was based on the
creation of an almost independent, entrepreneurial
International Office for the organisation of most
aspects of theprogram, including the marketing and
recruitment process.
