This is creating pressure on the universities, on faculty, the supporting on faculty staff and on the organisation itself.
There are changes due to changing demographic of students, changes in academic workload, changes in teaching expectations, changes in curriculum, and changes to the discipline, changes in assessment as well as changes in the demography of the faculty staff.
And the audit culture of the business environment appears to be having unintended changes as well
The central concept of a university is a "Community of Scholars and Teachers" in which all three ideas are important. Scholar, teacher and community.
