This is one of those things that's the thin edge of the wedge, a development that should be, as the headline suggests, watched closely. In general, I favour decentralization and institutional autonomy. But I have also commented that the university system is headed toward a funding crisis. Now there's no necessary connection between decentralization and the triggering of the funding crisis, but my belief is that it makes it more likely, particularly if universities find themselves unwilling or unable to meet committments regarding access, tuition or financial aid. All of that said, I still think decentralization is the way to go, for a variety of reasons. More coverage. Via University Business.
