Value and the Humanities

This book takes up Fisher's commentary and challenge to such economic
inevitabilities, in evidencing how higher education policy between 2008
and 2018 reformed both the management and financing of higher education in England through adopting a "business ontology" (2009, 17). The Independent Review of Higher Education Funding and Student Finance (2009-10), commonly known as the Browne Review, concluded that universities "must persuade students that they should ‘pay more' in order to "get more". The money will follow the student" (Browne 2010, 4). Under these conditions, a university degree became a product valued at the level of the individual consumer.
