'The fuss over graduate numbers... is about Oxford losing money on undergraduate teaching and hoping to turn a profit on taught masters degrees'

Article Abstract:

Issues relating to the suggestion that Oxford University should emulate the way in which Ivy League universities work and destroy its colleges and reconstruct its student body on the basis of one-third undergraduates to two-thirds graduates is examined. It is argued that such a suggestion for the restructuring of Oxford is pure fantasy and that what Oxford should learn from Ivy League universities is lessons about donations and fees, not management style and graduate numbers.
